How to Make Beef Patties In Onion Gravy

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix thoroughly with your hands, being careful not to overmix. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  3. Lightly spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Brown the patties over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  4. Add the dry onion soup mix and 1 1/2 cups of water to the skillet.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the patties to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  6. Carefully remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  7. In a small bowl or gravy shaker, whisk together 1/2 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth to create a slurry.
  8. Gradually whisk the flour slurry into the onion gravy in the skillet.
  9. Stir constantly with a whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens (about 1 minute).
  10. Return the beef patties to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them.
  11. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or hot cooked noodles.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
