• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

• 1 (10.5-ounce) can beef consomme'
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 (1.61-ounce) package Pioneer brown gravy mix

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, Worcestershire, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shape mixture into 5 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef patties, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove patties from skillet, and set aside. Drain skillet, reserving 1 tablespoon skillet drippings.

In the same large skillet, heat reserved drippings over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion, and cook stirring frequently for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Return beef patties to skillet.

In a small bowl, combine consomme, broth, and gravy mix; add to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until beef patties are cooked through and sauce is thickened. Serve immediately over hot cook egg noodles, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

(Also good with mashed potatoes.)
