# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to avoid overworking. Shape into 4-5 oval patties.
02 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
03 -
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes forming a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
04 -
Pour the gravy evenly over the hamburger patties in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until the patties are cooked through and tender.
05 -
Serve hot, spooning plenty of gravy over each patty. Ideal with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
# Notes:

Using lean ground beef (90/10) reduces fat content. For a richer gravy, use homemade beef broth.
