Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 2 cups beef broth (ensure gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Optional Variations & Additions

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, carrots, or green beans for vegetable boost
  • Alternative cheeses: Swiss, pepper jack, gouda
  • Low-carb breadcrumb alternatives: crushed pork rinds or almond flour
  • Ground turkey or chicken instead of beef
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just incorporated, then shape the mixture into evenly sized oval patties for uniform cooking.
  2. Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Do not cook through; this step develops flavor and texture before baking.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Make Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until tender. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth.
  4. Assemble the Bake: Place the browned patties in a baking dish. Pour the mushroom gravy evenly over the patties, then sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the patties are fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh onions and mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
  • Mix gently when combining patty ingredients to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Sear patties thoroughly to create a flavorful crust and lock in juices.
  • Adjust gravy thickness by adding more broth if needed for a saucier dish.
  • Let the bake rest a few minutes after baking to let flavors settle and ease slicing.
