Smothered Hamburger Steak

Ingredients

• 1 onion (doesn't have to be 1 whole onion, adjust to your liking. Or you can also substitute 1 package of oni)
• 1 lb ground beef (can use lean ground round)
• 1 cup water (1/2 to 1 cup)

• 1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

• 1 (1 ounce) package brown gravy mix (packet size varies)

Directions

1. 1

   Dice onion and add to the ground beef. (If using onion soup mix, blend well in ground beef.).

2. 2

   Mix and form into patties. Fry the patties in skillet on medium heat until cooked to your liking. I usually fry until they are medium-well, to well done.

3. 3

   While patties are cooking, add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 to 1 cup water, and brown gravy packet/mix in a bowl, stirring well. After patties are browned and ready, add this mixture to the skillet. Reducing the heat to simmer, I spread the mixture over the patties and turn them once or twice as the mixture warms. Stir mixture occasionally. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes or until gravy is good and hot.

4. 4

   Serve with mashed potatoes, your choice of veggies, a good salad, hot rolls or bread, and a cold glass of iced tea.

5. 5

   Of course, this recipe can be doubled. Serving size depends on how hungry your family or company is! ;).

6. 6

   Kind of a "blue-plate" special!
