Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gravy

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste (natural)
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Shape the mixture into evenly sized oval patties, being careful not to overmix to keep them tender.
  2. Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat with plant-based butter. Brown each patty for about 2 minutes per side until a rich crust forms. This step enhances flavor and helps the patties hold together during slow cooking.
  3. Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms until soft and fragrant. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), tomato paste (natural), and beef broth. Bring to a simmer then whisk in the natural gelling agent gradually until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Combine and Slow Cook: Place the browned patties into the slow cooker. Pour the mushroom gravy over the patties, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the patties are tender and infused with gravy.
  5. Finish and Serve: Before serving, gently stir the gravy to redistribute any natural gelling agent that may have settled. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Spoon patties and gravy onto plates and garnish with fresh herbs as desired.

Notes

  • Do not skip browning the patties to seal in juices and boost flavor.
  • Use ground beef with balanced fat content for juicy, tender results.
  • Sauté mushrooms before slow cooking to avoid sogginess.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually to prevent lumps and reach desired gravy consistency.
  • Cook on low and slow to meld flavors and keep patties moist.
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
