ground beef – try finding beef with very little fat for this recipe. Ground sirloin is always the best choice
bread crumbs – plain bread crumbs are perfect for this recipe
salt – table salt will do perfectly
ground black pepper
large egg
Worcestershire sauce – hard to pronounce, but tastes great in this recipe
onions – I like to use a sweet onion like Vidalia
Fresh mushrooms – typical button mushrooms are just fine, but you can substitute any type of mushroom

cornstarch mixed with water – this is to thicken the gravy
