Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| For the Beef Patties: | |
| Ground beef (80/20 blend) | 1 pound |
| Breadcrumbs (seasoned) | 1/2 cup |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1/4 cup |
| Garlic, minced | 1 clove |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Dried parsley (optional) | 1 teaspoon |
| For the Broth & Vegetables: | |

| Potato, diced | 1 medium |
| Beef broth | 4 cups |

Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Mix patty ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley (if using). Mix until just combined.
-
Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2-inch thick. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty so they cook evenly.
-
Brown patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Transfer the patties to a plate and set aside.
-
Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced carrots, sliced celery, and diced potato. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Add broth: Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the bay leaf and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Simmer: Carefully place the browned beef patties back into the skillet. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the patties are cooked through.
-
Serve: Remove and discard the bay leaf. Ladle the hot beef broth, vegetables, and patties into deep bowls and serve warm.
