Ingredients:
2 pounds lean hamburger, divided
½ onion, minced
1 egg
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon season salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon nature's seasons
Gravy:
½ cup reserved hamburger meat
1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
3 cups fat free milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Mashed potatoes, cooked rice or egg noodles for serving
To make the hamburger steaks, combine the hamburger meat (reserving half a cup for the gravy), onion, egg, breadcrumbs and seasonings in a large bowl.
Mix well so that all of the ingredients are combined.
Form eight hamburger patties and cook in a skillet that has been heated on medium high heat until they are just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
You may have to cook in batches if your skillet isn't large enough to cook all of them at once.
Once done cooking, place in an oven safe dish and place in a warm oven, about 200° F until ready to serve.
To make the gravy, brown the remaining hamburger in the same skillet that was used before. Add in the mushrooms and cook until soft.
Place cooked hamburger and mushrooms into a bowl and set aside.
Heat butter in the same skillet until melted, over medium high heat.
Add the flour once the butter is melted and cook, stirring with a whisk until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Slowly add in the milk and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Let the gravy come to a boil, stirring constantly.
If the gravy is too thick for your likings, add a bit of water until the consistency that you like is achieved.
Once the gravy is thickened to your likings, add in the reserved ground beef and mushroom mixture.
To serve, place a serving size amount of either mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles on each plate, followed by a hamburger steak that has been kept warm in the oven and then mushroom gravy. Enjoy!
