Ingredients

1 1 / 2 lb (675 g) ground beef
1 / 2 cup (60 g) breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tbsp (30 ml) milk
1 small onion, finely chopped (half for patties, half for gravy)
2 tbsp (30 ml) ketchup (for gravy)
1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 / 2 tsp black pepper
2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
1–2 tbsp (8–16 g) flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
2 tbsp (30 g) butter or oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, half the chopped onion, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper; form into 4-6 oval patties.
2. In a skillet, brown patties in butter or oil over medium-high heat until sealed (they need not be fully cooked); remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add remaining onion and cook until softened; stir in ketchup and sprinkle flour, cooking 1 minute to form a roux.
4. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping browned bits, and simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Return patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes until patties are cooked through.
6. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or egg noodles, spooning extra gravy over the top.
