Recipe View 2. Craft the patties: In a spacious bowl, gently combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix with a light touch until just combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, and lovingly form them into balls. Gently flatten each ball into a patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View 3. Sear and Sizzle: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the patties and sliced onion to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the patties until they achieve a beautiful, golden-brown crust, about 4 minutes per side. Once seared to perfection, transfer the beef patties to a plate and keep them warm, allowing the flavors to meld. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

Recipe View 4. The Grand Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the remaining onions and the delectable drippings in the skillet. Using a fork, diligently stir the flour into the onions and drippings, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet – these are flavor bombs waiting to explode! Gradually whisk in the beef broth and cooking sherry, creating a luscious, velvety sauce. Season with seasoned salt, adjusting to your palate's desire. Allow the gravy to simmer and stir over medium-low heat until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

Cover the skillet, and allow the patties to simmer in the gravy until they are cooked through and infused with the savory essence, about 15 minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
