one lb ground beef, one large egg,a quarter cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, half tsp each, salt and pepper, tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp garlic powder onion, ¼ teaspoon paprika
Divide the burgers into eight 2-inch balls, then flatten them into patties.
Heat a large skillet, cast iron skillet or skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the portioned patties in your pan (cook in batches, if necessary).
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
Fry your burger patties until golden brown, about three to five minutes per side. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate or platter, cover with a square of aluminum foil and set aside. *Drain the fat if necessary before sautéing the onions and mushrooms.
Mushroom and onion sauce
Add sliced mushrooms and onions to your skillet and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds then deglaze your pan with the cooking sherry wine.
1 cup white onion, 1 cup white mushrooms, two tbsp dry sherry, 1 tbsp garlic
Let the sherry simmer while you scrape the bottom of the pan to make sure all the fried bits are loosened, then add your beef broth and stir to combine. Whisk cornstarch slurry until well blended.
two cups beef broth, 1 tbsp cornstarch
Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes, then place the browned burgers in the sauce and simmer over low heat. Cover and let the burgers cook in the sauce for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
