In a large mixing bowl, combine:
-
Ground beef
-
Breadcrumbs
-
Eggs
-
Milk
-
Onion
-
Garlic
-
Salt, pepper, and paprika
Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Form into thick oval or round patties — about 6–8 pieces depending on size preference.
2️⃣ Brown the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the pan and brown each patty for about 3–4 minutes per side. You’re not cooking them fully — just developing a deep golden crust to lock in flavor.
Once browned, transfer them into a greased baking dish.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together:
-
Cream of mushroom soup
-
Beef broth
-
Heavy cream
-
Worcestershire sauce
-
Onion powder
Mix until smooth.
Pour the sauce evenly over the browned patties in the baking dish.
4️⃣ Bake to Perfection
