Fun Twists
Switch up spices for different flavor vibes. Mix and match mushroom types. Make it without gluten by swapping in different binders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I prep this in advance?
- Sure! Form the beef patties and cook up the sauce a day early. Keep them in the fridge separately, and reheat when you're ready to eat. The flavor usually gets even better.
- → What type of beef works best?
- Go with 80% lean beef for the ideal balance of flavor and tenderness. If it's too lean, the patties may dry out; too fatty, and they might be greasy.
- → Is this freezer-friendly?
- Yep, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight, and warm it gently with a little broth to keep it moist.
- → What sides go with this?
- Mashed potatoes are always a winner for soaking up the gravy. Egg noodles, roasted veggies, or even polenta work great too.
- → Can I make it gluten-free?
- Absolutely. Just use gluten-free breadcrumbs and double-check the labels on your broth and Worcestershire sauce. The rest is naturally gluten-free.
