These flavourful beef patties are simple to prep and can be made-ahead so they’re always ready for service. Accented with warm spices, the beef mixture can also be used to make burgers, patty melts, sliders, meatballs or a classic meatloaf. The gravy has a deep, rich flavour profile thanks to a medley of mushrooms, and would be equally delicious poured over grilled steak or a hot roast beef sandwich.
