Ingredients

Hamburger Patties

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup potato chips, smashed
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Gravy

  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth, more if needed for thinning
  • 4 dashes Worcestershire
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Hamburger Patties

  • Combine the ground beef, eggs, potato chips, dry mustard, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper.
  • Using your hands, mix all the ingredients until fully combined. Form into four hamburger patties.
  • In a 12-inch skillet with the butter and oil over medium-high heat, fry the patties on both sides until no longer pink in the middle. (about 5 minutes a side)
  • Remove patties from the skillet and pour off any excess grease.

Gravy

  • Reduce the heat to medium and add in the sliced onions. Stir and cook until golden brown and somewhat soft, about 3-5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the beef broth and the corn starch. Mix well.
  • Add the beef broth mixture and Worcestershire sauce to the onions and stir as the mixture comes to a low boil. The sauce will reduce and thicken.
  • If the sauce appears too thick, you can add more broth for thinning.
  • Return the cooked hamburger patties to the gravy. Spoon the gravy over the top and let them simmer and heat back up for a couple of minutes.
