Ingredients
For the patties
- 1 pound ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs Use gluten-free bread crumbs for dietary needs.
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped Sauté for added flavor.
- 1 piece egg

For the sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 packet brown gravy mix

Instructions
Preparation

- Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the patties on both sides.
Cooking
- In the slow cooker, whisk together the beef broth and brown gravy mix until fully dissolved.
- Gently add the browned patties and sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the gravy.

Notes
For best flavor, consider sautéing onions before adding them to the beef mixture. To thicken gravy, mix cornstarch with water and stir in during the last hour of cooking.
