Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy (Print Version)

Seasoned ground beef patties browned in a skillet, then simmered in rich brown gravy with caramelized onions.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Hamburger Steaks

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1/4 cup bread crumbs
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 2 teaspoons Fire and Smoke Society Steak King Chophouse Blend (or any favorite burger or steak seasoning)
06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

→ For the Onion Gravy

07 - 1 tablespoon butter
08 - 1 large yellow onion, diced or sliced
09 - 2 packets brown gravy mix
10 - 2 cups water
11 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce just until combined - don't overmix! Form the mixture into four equal patties.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for about 3 minutes per side until they have a nice crust. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
03 - Add the butter and sliced or diced onions to the same skillet. Season with black pepper and cook over low to medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly browned.
04 - Stir in the brown gravy mix and water. Cook, stirring, until the gravy thickens.
05 - Return the browned patties to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to finish cooking the patties and let all the flavors come together.
06 - Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles with plenty of that delicious onion gravy!

# Notes:

01 - Don't overmix the meat mixture - it can make the patties tough. Mix just until combined.
02 - The patties don't need to be fully cooked when you brown them - they'll finish cooking in the gravy.
03 - Cooking the onions slowly over low to medium heat brings out their sweetness.
04 - This is perfect served over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
05 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
