Hamburgers with Homemade Mushroom Gravy

Easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes! Hamburgers with Mushroom Gravy is best served over noodles or creamy mashed potatoes. The perfect recipe to add to your weekly meal plan maybe even every week!

Let me show you how to get dinner on the table on nights you think you're too busy to cook.

Today I'm sharing with you a recipe that I make quite often and finally remembered to take photos the last time we had this for dinner.   Hamburgers with mushroom gravy is a recipe my family really enjoys for dinner and I really enjoy making because it is so easy!

I usually make the hamburgers in my cast iron grill pan and make the gravy in a separate cast iron pan. And then add the hamburgers to the other cast iron pan with the gravy to continue cooking and marry the flavors together. 

Seems like a little extra work, but you can't beat the flavor of hamburgers cooked in a cast iron grill pan and you can't really make a good gravy with a grill pan. 

Tips for Making the Hamburgers

• I think the secret to making this hamburgers with mushroom gravy recipe is using a cast iron grill pan. If you've never used a cast iron pan or don't really know how to properly clean one, make sure you read my post on using cast iron pans. I was pretty clueless when it came to using cast iron, but it's all I use now! 
• For the "picky" kids who don't like mushrooms, you can make the whole recipe first and then remove their hamburger with a little gravy and then add the mushrooms for those who like mushrooms.
• Here's a little secret:  I don't like mushrooms!  But I still enjoy this recipe!
• This recipe will make 6 hamburger patties.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1 | Make the Hamburger Patties

• In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce and water.

• If you have time, place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before cooking.

• Cook in a large cast iron skillet over medium to high heat for about 4 - 5 minutes on each side.
• Check with a digital meat thermometer for the internal temperature reads 165°F and the juices run clear.
• Remove the cooked patties from the pan to a plate and keep warm while you prepare the gravy.

Step 3 | Make the Homemade Mushroom Gravy

• In the same skillet, melt the butter.
• Then stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes.

• Finally add the mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes.
• Season the gravy with salt and pepper if needed.
• Add the cooked hamburger patties back to the pan. Spoon some of the mushroom gravy on top.

Step 4 | Serving Tips

• You can serve hamburgers with mushroom gravy over buttered egg noodles or buttered rice tastes amazing too.
• If your family loves potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes are amazing.  Try making my recipe for Company Mashed Potatoes to serve alongside this recipe.
