bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats add fiber, while crushed crackers are a budget-friendly alternative.

Worcestershire sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Start by beating 1 egg in a large mixing bowl.

Add 1 and 1/2 lb of lean ground beef to the bowl.

Mix in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined, resembling ground beef.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties.

Preheat a large skillet over high heat and drizzle a little oil to prevent sticking.

Add the patties to the hot skillet and brown them for a few minutes on each side, without pressing down on them.

While the patties are browning, prepare the crock pot by layering 4 oz of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 sliced onion at the bottom.

Once the patties are browned, place them on top of the mushrooms and onions in the crock pot.

Add beef broth and brown gravy mix to the crock pot, ensuring the patties are covered with the mixture.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the patties are cooked through.
