Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup wheat bread crumbs
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup thinly sliced onion
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth OR 1 cup french onion soup (i used a spoon of the dry mix with a cup water)
• 1 tablespoon cooking sherry OR 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 5 balls, and flatten into patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.
3. Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the beef broth or onion soup and sherry or vanilla. Season with salt. Simmer and stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice, with steamed veggies on the side.
