• 1 large onion

  half minced, half sliced into rings
• ½ tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

  divided 
• 1 ½ pounds hamburger

  85/15, you want these juicy
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
• 1 egg

  slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon horseradish
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  divided
• salt and pepper

  to taste
• 3 cups mushrooms

  sliced
• 1 14.5 ounce can beef broth

  low sodium
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 2 teaspoons corn starch

Instructions

• 1 Start with the onion. To clarify – cut the onion in half. You’ll finely mince
  one half and thinly slice the remaining half into thin rings or half-moons
  depending on which direction you sliced the onion. 
• 2 Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. 
• 3 When it’s heated, add ½ tablespoon oil and sauté the minced half of the onion
  until softened. Keep your eye on this while you move on to the next step.
• 4 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the hamburger, breadcrumbs, egg, horseradish,
  half tablespoon Worcestershire and a little salt and pepper.
• 5 Add the softened onions from the skillet then turn down the heat on the skillet
  while you mix.
• 6 Combine these ingredients.
• 7 Divide this mixture into 4 portions and form oval shaped patties about ½inch
  thick.
• 8 Return your skillet to medium-high heat and add another ½tablespoon oil.
• 9 Place the patties into the skillet and cook 4 - 5 minutes per side, flipping
  once.
• 10 Set aside and keep warm.
• 11 In the same skillet, in the drippings from the beef, sauté the rings of onion
  and mushrooms until soft and golden brown.
• 12 Remove the onion and mushroom and set aside.
• 13 Add the broth and using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir, scraping up all the
  lovely, browned bits.
• 14 Mix the cold water and corn starch together until very smooth (no lumps!) and
  pour into the broth.
• 15 Bring to a simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened.
• 16 Add the remaining ½ tablespoon Worcestershire.
• 17 Return the patties, onions, and mushrooms back to the pan and give it all a good
  stir to coat and warm up.
• 18 Let this simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors develop.
• 19 Serve with mashed potatoes and peas and carrots for the whole TV dinner vibe.
