Ingredients
Beef Patties
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Country Gravy
4 tablespoons butter please see notes
1/4 cup flour
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Egg noodles or mashed potatoes
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together beef, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Shape into 6 patties. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown patties on both sides; approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove patties to an oven-proof plate and place in oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes.
In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue whisking until golden brown and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously. Simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 2-3 minutes. Gravy will thicken more upon cooling. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Add patties back to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
