A delightful twist on a classic comfort food, these beef patties are paired with a rich mushroom gravy for a satisfying meal.
Combine the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped onion in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the patties until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Remove the patties from the pan and set aside. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
Place the patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
In the same pan, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, water, and brown gravy mix over medium heat until smooth.
Stir continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy consistency.
Return the patties to the pan, spoon the gravy over them, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and the patties to absorb the gravy.
Serve the patties hot, topped with the mushroom gravy, alongside your favorite side dishes.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and added color.
