Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Hot cooked gemelli or spiral pasta

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, pepper and garlic. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.

In a large skillet, cook patties in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.

Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute mushrooms in drippings until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in the broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Return patties to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Serve with gemelli. Yield: 4 servings.

REVIEW:

I made this for my family a few weeks ago desperately looking for something new with beef. The dinner got rave reviews from my family and they have asked me to make it again.
