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.

These burgers and gravy are delicious served over your favorite sides! Try them with buttered egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
For a super easy side, try my Company Mashed Potatoes! They can be made ahead of time, which is perfect for busy weeknights.
Baked potatoes are also a great option, especially with a generous spoonful of gravy on top.
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.

Nutrition
Notes
- Avoid Over Mixing the Meat: Overworking the mixture can lead to less tender patties.
- Form Uniform Patties: Shape the patties slightly larger than desired, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: After preparing the gravy, return the patties to the pan and simmer for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures the burgers are heated through.

Do you season the egg noodles with just butter?

Kathleen Rizzuto says
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!
