🔥 Pro Tips

• For extra flavor, sauté mushrooms in the gravy before adding the patties.
• Use a mix of beef and pork for juicier patties.
• Leftover gravy can be stored in the fridge for sandwiches or mashed potatoes later.

If you want, I can give a slow cooker version that’s super hands-off and melts in your mouth.
