1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Shape into 4 oval patties.
3. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Tips

• For extra flavor, brown the patties well — the fond adds richness to the gravy.
• You can add mushrooms to the gravy for a variation.
• Leftovers taste great reheated and served over rice or mashed potatoes.

I can also give you a slow cooker version that’s hands-off and very tender.
