Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper together.
2. Form the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while you prepare the gravy base.

4. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions in butter until they are soft.
5. Add the flour and stir for about 2 minutes to cook it slightly.
6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
7. Nestle the browned patties into the gravy, ensuring they are covered well.
8. Cover the skillet tightly and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
9. After 45 minutes, uncover the skillet and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken.
