ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Vegetable broth is lower in calories, and using water with bouillon is cost-effective.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds nutrition, while cornstarch is a budget-friendly thickener.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, and margarine can be a cheaper substitute.

Mix 1.5 pounds of 80/20 ground chuck with 4 minced garlic cloves, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper by hand until combined.

Add about 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and mix well to incorporate.

Grate about 3/4 stick of butter into the meat mixture and mix again until well combined.

Form the mixture into four oval-shaped patties.

Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add the patties to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side, until they reach an internal temperature of about 140°F.

Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add sliced onion and cook until translucent and soft.

Add 1 cup of half and half, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 cup of beef broth to the onions and stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and add cornstarch mixed with cold water to thicken the gravy.

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for about 10-15 minutes.
