Notes
- You could add a little garlic powder to the patties for some extra flavor.
- The gravy will thicken in the fridge. When you reheat it, reheat it on the stove and thin it with extra beef broth until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Cook the egg so the yolk stays runny because it blends with the gravy and adds extra richness to the dish.
