Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite comfort foods! It is a quick and easy dish and so delectable. These seasoned beef patties are savory and tender and cooked in a wild gravy made of mushrooms. I have made this recipe for countless people, and I am so excited to finally share it with you!

WHICH BEEF IS BEST?

Ground beef of any kind is great for these patties. A tip is that if you buy a higher percentage of fat beef then it tends to give extra tender. The reason being that the fat in the meat take in more of the bread. The same can be said for less fat content meat. If you use a low-fat beef, your patties will more solid.

WHAT about MUSHROOMS?

I used Baby Bella mushrooms because they give the gravy a wonderful color and they’re quite affordable at Aldi. If you have a limited selection or Baby Bella mushrooms are too expensive in your area, regular button mushrooms can be used instead. Your gravy may be slightly lighter in color when using white button mushrooms.

My favorite for this recipe is baby bella. They lend a lot of aesthetic, taste, and texture to the gravy in order to give it that wild flair. In some grocery stores they are a decent price. However, for whatever reason those do not work, any sort of mushroom will do. I don’t recommend trying new flavors if you are not comfortable with it, so if you don’t like these types of mushrooms (or mushrooms in general) then do what works best for you.
