Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Dash pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef broth, undiluted
  • 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
