Place the potatoes in salted boiling water and boil for about 15 minutes. While they are boiling, add the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, egg, and bread crumbs to a mixing bowl. Using your hands or a spoon, mix until well combined. Grab up and handful and form the mixture into patties.
In the same pan as the patties, add the butter and allow it to melt down. Add in a bit more oil if necessary. Place in the onion and mushrooms. Fry until the they both change color. Add in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and season with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Whisk and allow it simmer until it thickens up.
Place the patties in, spoon some gravy over the top, and allow to simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and add in the butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
