Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup flour

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the patties to an oven-proof plate and place in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes.
- In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue whisking until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant, about 7 minutes.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously. Simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 2-3 minutes. The gravy will thicken more upon cooling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the patties back to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the patties over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, if desired.
