Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¼ onion, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
  • 7 saltine crackers, finely crushed (or panko, about ¼ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8-12 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms (or baby bellas)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Buttered egg noodles, or roasted fingerlings/baby potatoes for serving (optional)
Instructions
  1. *If serving with fingerling or baby potatoes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss potatoes in olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Bake on a foil-lined sheet and start checking for doneness at about 30 minutes. Meanwhile:
  2. Gently mix the beef, egg, onion, cracker crumbs, sage, ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl using your hands. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and cook the mushrooms until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste, scraping up any browned bits. Sprinkle in the flour and stir, then stir in 1.5 - 2 cups hot water and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, swirling to combine.
  5. Return the patties and any juices from the plate to the skillet. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the patties are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve with noodles or potatoes, if desired.
