INGREDIENTS
For the patties...
- 
1 lb 80/20 ground beef (or mixed ground beef & pork, or ground turkey, though turkey tends to be less moist)
 - 
½ c plain bread crumbs
 - 
1 large egg
 - 
1 ounce whole milk
 - 
½ packet of your favorite onion soup mix
 - 
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
 - 1/2 tspn freshly ground black pepper
 
For the gravy...
- 
1/2 stick unsalted butter
 - 
2 cups sliced mushrooms, preferrably cremini
 - 
1 sliced onion
 - 
2 oz flour
 - 
½ packet of your favorite onion soup mix
 - 
12 oz low sodium beef stock
 - 
8 oz water
 - 
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
 - Cooking oil for pan
 - 1/4 c chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
 
Directions
-  Preheat oven to 350°
 - 
In a large bowl, mix ground meat, bread crumbs, milk, egg, 1/2 packet soup mix, pepper and Worcestershire and shape into 4 large, or 6 small patties.
 - 
Heat an oven-safe sauté pan (no plastic handles) for a minute over medium heat, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to pan.
 - 
Brown patties 3 minutes per side and remove them to a separate plate.
 - 
Melt butter in pan. Add onion and mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes, or until soft. Add other 1/2 packet of soup mix and flour into cooked vegetable mixture and stir until combined. Let cook together about a minute to remove any raw flour taste.
 - 
Slowly pour in water and stock, stirring constantly until bubbles begin to rise. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally for 5 minutes until gravy thickens. Taste gravy, then add salt & freshly ground pepper as needed.
 - 
Return patties to gravy and place pan in preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
