- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Gravy Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 2 cups cooked macaroni
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups steamed broccoli florets
- Sweet potato cornbread (you can find a recipe online or use a mix)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape the mixture into patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the hamburger patties until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook for a minute or two until the flour is lightly browned.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens.
- Return the cooked hamburger patties to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the patties. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Prepare the wild rice according to the package instructions.
- In a separate pot, cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and coats the macaroni.
- Steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp.
- Prepare the sweet potato cornbread according to your chosen recipe or mix.
- To serve, place a scoop of wild rice on a plate, top it with a hamburger patty and some gravy. Serve with a portion of macaroni and cheese, steamed broccoli, and a slice of sweet potato cornbread.
