Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef About 70 percent lean and 30 percent fat
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Milk cold
  • 1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
  • 2/3 cup White Breadcrumbs
  • 2/3 tbsp Beef Bouillon Powder
  • 1 1/3 cup Onion Soup canned or leftover
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Mix eggs, milk, beef bouillon powder, salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
  • Add onion and bread crumbs to the egg mixture and mix to hydrate the breadcrumbs.
  • Add ground beef to the mixture and mix until combined. Do not over mix.
  • Make patties to the desired size, and we recommend the size of the patty about the size of the palm and ½ inch thick.
  • Make six even patties and set them aside.
  • Now take the cast iron skillet and let it heat on medium heat.
  • Add butter to the skillet and let it melt.
  • Once the butter is foamy, drop the beef patties.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side and flip to cook the other side for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Take the patties out on a clean plate and set them aside.
  • Now, pour the onion soup, water, dried herb seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce in the skillet and gently mix to scrape off the delicious brown bits from the patties.
  • Let the soup simmer for 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat.
  • Add the patties with their juices to the soup and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the soup thickens like gravy.
  • Serve the patties hot with the smother of gravy over them. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
