Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of cooking! I promise these steps are straightforward, and before you know it, you’ll have a delicious meal ready to serve.

1. Start by mixing the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Combine everything well using your hands, but don’t overmix.
2. Shape the mixture into four equal patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. This is where the magic happens!
5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
6. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and return the patties to the skillet, coating them with the gravy.
7. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. This is the time to reflect on those family meals you once had!
8. Serve hot with your favorite sides. I love pairing it with mashed potatoes or a simple green salad.
