Beef patties simmered in onion gravy, diner style.

Mix together in a large bowl until combined:

1 pound ground beef

¼ cup bread crumbs

1 egg

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Form into 8 balls and flatten into patties.

Heat in a large skillet over medium heat:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Add the patties and onion:

1 cup thinly sliced onion

Fry until the patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.

Sprinkle over the onions and drippings in the skillet:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Stir in the flour with a fork. Scrape the browned bits of beef off the bottom of the skillet while stirring. Gradually mix in:

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon cooking sherry

Season with:

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Simmer and stir over medium-low heat until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, return the patties to the gravy, and cover. Simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve.
