  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4–6 hamburger buns, split
  • Optional toppings: shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese, toasted buns, a dollop of sour cream, fresh parsley

  8. 8. Toast hamburger buns if desired.
  9. 9. Spoon beef mixture onto bottom halves of buns. Add cheese if using.
