Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use plain or seasoned)
1/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your dish bakes evenly and at the right temperature.
2. Make the Hamburger Patties:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on the size you prefer. The patties should be about 1/2-inch thick.
3. Brown the Patties:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the hamburger patties to the skillet. Brown the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, just until they are nicely seared. They don’t need to be fully cooked through at this stage, as they will continue cooking in the oven.
4. Prepare the Gravy:
In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth (or water). Stir until well combined. If you’d like a thinner gravy, add more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Assemble the Dish:
