Ingredients

Patties

  • 1 lb of ground Beef or ground turkey, or spam
  • ½ of finely chopped Onion
  • 1 tsp of Garlic powder
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ cup of panko Bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and Black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups of cooked brown Rice
  • 4 eggs Sunny-side-up

Mushroom Gravy

  • ¼ cup of unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup of chopped Mushrooms
  • 1 sliced Onion
  • ¼ cup of Flour use whole wheat
  • 2 cups of Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp of Soy sauce
  • Salt and Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • To make the patties, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, egg, panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Shape the beef mixture into 4 patties, about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the beef patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  • For the gravy, melt the half stick of butter in the same skillet over medium heat and saute the onion.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they become tender.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and butter. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to cook slightly.
  • Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce to the skillet and mix well.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Stir occasionally, seasoning with pepper to taste.
  • To assemble, divide the cooked rice among 4 plates. Place a beef patty on each bed of rice. Spoon the mushroom gravy over the beef patties, and top with sunny-side up eggs.
  • ENJOY!
