Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Wait until shimmering.
  3. Shape the beef mixture into patties about ¾ inch thick and place them in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned.
  4. Reduce heat to low, whisk brown gravy mix with hot water until dissolved, and pour into the skillet with cooked patties. Stir to combine.
  5. Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat, serve hot with gravy over patties, and enjoy with sides like mashed potatoes or veggies.
