- Prepare the Mushroom and Onion Gravy: In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add sliced mushrooms and onions, and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5–6 minutes.Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions and stir for 1–2 minutes to cook the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Patties and Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer for another 5–7 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
