Ingredients

1. 2 pounds ground chuck
2. 2 tablespoons steak sauce
3. 1 teaspoon salt
4. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5. 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh baby portobello mushrooms
6. 1 onion, thinly sliced
7. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
8. 1 1/2 cups beef broth
9. 1 (0.87-ounce) package brown gravy mix
10. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
11. 6 slices frozen garlic Texas toast, baked according to package directions
12. Mashed Potatoes and Peas (recipe follows)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, stir together beef, steak sauce, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture into 6 portions, and shape each portion into a patty.
2. In a large skillet, cook patties over medium-high heat until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Pour off drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
3. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to drippings in skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, gravy mix, and thyme, and bring to a boil. Return patties to skillet, and simmer until gravy is thickened, about 10 minutes. Top each slice of toast with Mashed Potatoes and Peas, patty, and onion and mushroom gravy. Serve immediately.

Notes

1. Toasted thick French bread slices can be used instead of Texas toast.
