Ingredients
For the Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 egg
For the Gravy
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 ounce ranch dressing mix
- 0.87 ounce brown gravy mix
For Topping
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ cup sliced pepperoncinis
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Form Patties: Shape the meat mixture into 4 equal-sized patties and place them evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Make the Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, and ranch dressing mix until well blended and smooth.
- Add Gravy and Toppings: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the patties in the slow cooker. Then, top each patty with 1 tablespoon of butter, followed by sprinkling the diced onions and sliced pepperoncinis over the top.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the patties are thoroughly cooked and tender, and the flavors have melded beautifully.
- Serve: Carefully remove the patties from the slow cooker and serve warm, spooning the rich gravy and toppings over each serving for a delicious meal.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, remove the patties after cooking, and cook the liquid on high uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
- Adjust pepperoncini amount to suit your spice preference; they add a nice tangy kick.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to enjoy the flavorful gravy fully.
- Can be made ahead; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use lean ground beef for lower fat content.
