Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef (80-85% lean) For tender, flavorful patties.
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced Caramelize during cooking for sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour For thickening the gravy.
  • 2 cups beef broth For flavor; use warm.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Season the patties.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Season to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil For cooking onions.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Shape the ground beef into patties about the size of your palm.
  2. Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patties for color and flavor.
  3. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until softened and slightly caramelized.
Gravy Preparation
  1. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to incorporate.
  2. Slowly whisk in the warm beef broth until smooth.
  3. Season the gravy lightly and adjust final seasoning to taste.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Transfer the patties and caramelized onions to a baking dish.
  2. Pour the gravy evenly over the patties and onions.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes or until the patties are cooked through and gravy is bubbling.
  4. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Great for meal prep; flavors deepen when stored. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or a side salad.
