Hamburger Patty with Mushroom Gravy
I think the secret to making this hamburgers with mushroom gravy recipe is using a cast iron grill pan.
I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for this recipe. It makes a huge difference! If you're not familiar with cast iron, don't worry – it's easier than you think. make sure you read my post on using cast iron pans.
This recipe is easily adaptable for those who don't like mushrooms. Simply prepare the gravy as directed, but hold off on adding the mushrooms until you've served portions to those who prefer them without.
Even without the mushrooms, the gravy is incredibly flavorful! Here's a little secret: I don't like mushrooms! But I still enjoy this recipe!
This recipe will make 6 hamburger patties.

- Ground Beef - I like to use a mixture of 80/20 mixture.
- Onion; finely chopped
- Water
- Fresh Parsley; chopped
- Worcestershire sauce
- Butter
- Flour
- Beef broth
- Mushrooms; you can use fresh or canned.
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- If you prefer a leaner burger, you can absolutely use a 90/10 or even 93/7 blend. You might want to add a touch more butter to the pan when cooking the onions to compensate for the reduced fat.
- You could even try using ground turkey, chicken, or even a blend of beef and pork. Just be aware that the cooking time might vary slightly.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley for every tablespoon of fresh.
- Experiment with different types of mushrooms like cremini, portobello, or shiitake for different flavors and textures.
- If you need a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend when thickening the gravy.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Combine ground beef, onion, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and water in a bowl. Shape into patties and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes before cooking, if desired.

Step 2: Cook the patties in a hot cast iron skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, until they reach 165°F internally and the juices run clear. Set aside and keep warm while you make the gravy.

Step 3: In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook briefly, then whisk in the beef broth until thickened. Add mushrooms, cook a few minutes more, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the patties to the skillet and top with gravy.

Storing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Try to store the hamburgers separately from the gravy in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Place the gravy in a container and wrap the burgers tightly in aluminum foil.
Freezer: If you want to freeze leftovers, follow the steps above only place both in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thawing and Reheating: Allow the burgers and gravy to defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat leftover hamburgers with gravy in the oven. Place both in a covered casserole dish and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

Do you season the egg noodles with just butter?

I don't have jarred mushrooms, but fresh. I'm assuming that's ok, so I should saute the mushrooms first n olive oil or should it b made with jarred or canned?
Lois says
Yes, I would cook the mushrooms for a little bit in some butter. Then once they're cooked, continue with the recipe to make the gravy. Thank you for visiting!
