• 1/2 pkg dry onion mix
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1/2 small can Diced Jalapenos drained (Optional: diced green chiles)

Gravy

• 3 Tablespoons Butter
• Olive oil to add when butter isn't enough
• 2 cups Fresh Mushrooms
• 1 Onion, Quartered and Sliced
• 4-6 cloves garlic chopped
• 3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 pkg dry onion mix
• 1-1/2 cups Beef Broth
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Mix Ground Beef, Panko bread crumbs, egg, milk, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 can Diced Jalapenos peppers,  Mrs Dash's Garlic and Herb, Garlic powder, Chili powder in a large bowl.
2. Add olive oil to skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook patties until browned turning so they don't burn.
3. Melt butter in a separate pot over medium-high heat. Saute onions until starting to turn translucent. Add mushrooms and garlic. Saute until mushrooms are tender. Slowly add the flour while constantly stirring. If mixture becomes too thick, slowly add a little beef broth while stirring. 
4. Slowly add beef broth and water while stirring. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and stir constantly until the liquid thickens.
5. Place the browned beef patties into the gravy and simmer until the steaks are firm, about 30 minutes. Insert thermometer into center of patties and it should read 160 deg F or more.
6. Taste gravy and adjust the seasoning. I added a little pepper and salt.

Serve with boiled potatoes or white rice.
