# Instructions:

Clean mushrooms by wiping with a damp paper towel, dry thoroughly, then chop and set aside. Avoid washing with water to prevent them from becoming slimy.

Shape meat into 6-8 thick patties, about 1.5 inches thick and 3.5-4 inches wide. Form into balls first, then press into patty shapes.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Cook patties for 6-7 minutes per side until well-browned, working in batches if needed. Set aside on a clean plate.

In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and cook mushrooms until golden brown. Season with Worcestershire or soy sauce and black pepper.
06 -
Return patties to skillet with mushrooms, add beef broth, and simmer covered for 25 minutes on low heat, occasionally flipping patties.
07 -
Whisk remaining gravy packets with 1.5 cups of hot liquid from skillet. Add back to pan and simmer 8 more minutes until thickened. Rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
