Directions
-
In a large bowl, break apart the ground beef with your hands, ensuring it is separated but not compressed or squeezed tightly.
-
Minced the garlic clove and finely chop the onion, then add them to the beef along with the barbecue sauce (or ketchup) and celery seasoning.
-
Gently mix the ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat, then divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into flat patties.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the patties, frying for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned on the outside and cooked through, ensuring no pink remains in the center.
-
While the patties cook, prepare the mushroom gravy in a separate skillet according to the package directions, typically resulting in about 1 cup of sauce.
-
Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate or keep them warm in the skillet, then pour the hot mushroom gravy evenly over the top of each patty.

Note
For best results, ensure the beef is not overmixed, as this can make the patties tough. Handle the meat gently to keep them tender.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can simmer it for an additional minute or two after adding the liquid. Conversely, add a splash of beef broth or water if it becomes too thick.
This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed green beans to absorb the flavorful gravy.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to restore moisture to the gravy.
You can substitute the barbecue sauce/ketchup with Worcestershire sauce for a more traditional savory flavor profile if desired.
