Bring steakhouse flavor home with this easy Texas Roadhouse Roadkill copycat recipe! Juicy ground chuck patties are pan-seared and smothered in golden sautéed onions and mushrooms, then optionally topped with melty cheese. This quick and comforting dish is packed with down-home flavor and ready in just 30 minutes—perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground chuck
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pound button mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for sautéing)
  • Optional: shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Divide ground chuck into 4–6 oval patties. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until golden and soft; remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned and tender. Set aside with the onions.
  4. Cook patties in the same pan over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through and browned.
  5. Return onions and mushrooms to the skillet, spooning them over the patties. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for added flavor.
  6. If desired, top with shredded cheese and cover until melted. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground chuck for juicy, flavorful patties.
  • Feel free to top with your favorite cheese—cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter version.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles, or even on a toasted bun.
  • For a low-carb option, skip the sides and pair with a salad or roasted veggies.
