Ingredients

  • 2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
  • ¼ cup beef broth or water
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 ground chuck)
  • 1 small onion, peeled and grated
  • 1 egg, well beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 can (14 ounces) button mushrooms, drained and sliced

For the Gravy

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, soak bread in broth. Tear with your hands until it resembles a soft paste.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soaked bread, onions, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until combined. 
  • Divide meat into portions and shape into patties. With your thumb, gently press in the center of each patty to make a slight indentation.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 to 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and keep warm. 
  • Add beef patties in a single layer and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned but not cooked through. Remove burgers from pan and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter until melted. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until smooth and blended. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until roux turns lightly golden.
  • Slowly add beef stock, whisk until smooth, and continue to cook until sauce begins to thicken. Add salt and pepper for the gravy.
  • Add meat patties in a single layer in the pan. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is fully cooked. 
  • Add mushrooms during the last 5 minutes and cook until heated through. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Don’t overwork the mixture, as this will toughen the meat and make the burgers denser. Combine the ingredients lightly until well incorporated, but do not overmix.
  • Shape the patties a little larger than you like as they will shrink when they cook.
  • Do NOT flatten the patties when pan-frying, as pressing them down will release juices that moisten the burgers. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to keep it from bulging into a ball when frying.
