What’s different in the Pioneer Woman’s version?

Her take often includes canned soup and ketchup, while ours uses a homemade creamy gravy for a fresher taste.

Can I add potatoes to this recipe?

Yes! You can add diced or sliced potatoes under the patties before baking. Just make sure they’re cut thin enough to cook fully.

Can I cook this on the stovetop only?

Absolutely. After browning the patties and making the gravy, simmer everything in a covered pan for 20 minutes.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape into 6 patties.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Sear patties 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Sauté onions for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Sprinkle in flour, stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
Pour gravy over patties. Top with shredded cheese (if using).
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispier top, if desired.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

You can add sliced mushrooms or frozen peas to the gravy for added veggies.
For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch instead of flour.
Pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or biscuits.
