Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, pepper and garlic. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
In a large skillet, cook patties in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
Drain drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Saute mushrooms in drippings until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in the broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Return patties to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Serve with gemelli.

I made this for my family a few weeks ago desperately looking for something new with beef. The dinner got rave reviews from my family and they have asked me to make it again.
