98 Reviews of Hamburgers with Brown Gravy (TOTAL Comfort Food aka "Meat Cakes" :)

From: AngelaTN

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. And YUM! These were great! Super fast, super tasty. It was so good I actually had to bring it to work and let all my coworkers ooh and aah over it, which they did. I am trying to keep a more "frugal" kitchen, and this fits the bill! Inexpensive to prepare, and very easy. I used extra lean ground beef and served with egg noodles. Next time I'll try mashed potatoes. I might even try serving with homemade mac and cheese instead of noodles or potatoes. Now THAT would be a great comfort food meal. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

    The family was in the mood for meatloaf last night so I came to this site for help. With it being so hot outside, I didn't want to use my oven and this recipe was perfect! The family loved it! I made it with a side of mashed taters, a veggie combination of snow peas, green peas, carrots and broccoli, a salad and an oregano/garlic bread from my bread machine. Yummy! Thank you for posting this recipe!

    This was a very tasty recipe.The flavour of the ingredients blended nicely together, the meat was moist and flavourful and the onion soup mix wasn't over-powering as in some recipes. My family thoroughly enjoyed these served with garlic mashed potatoes and peas and carrots.This one goes into my recipe files.

    I have made these at least 5 times now, as it is now my husband's favorite meal. He begs me to make it at least twice a month. My children also lick their plates every time. Thanks for such a great recipe.

    Oh how I love recipezaar mainly because I find recipes like this one. Had all the ingredients on hand. The only part I changed was when I removed cooked hamburgers, I then added fresh mushrooms to the skillet, let them brown nicely. I cut the recipe in half next time I will not cut the gravy in half. I had roasted cauliflower with garlic & lemon then sprinkled parmasan cheese on top along with noodles to go with that delicious gravy. This would even make an elegant meal to serve at a dinner party. I should have taken a picture of this absolutley delicious awesome meal. Keep them coming Karen.

    This recipe is so easy, down-right delicious and cold-weather comforting. My husband would choose these with a side of mashed potatoes over a good steak dinner! Matter of fact, just hand him a straw and he might drink the gravy! Very pleasing to the tummy and outstanding on the wallet!

    Oh Wow!!! These "Meat Cakes" are excellent. They have a wonderful flavor and so easy to slap together and serve! Made Sue L.'s German Sauerkraut and Potato Balls to go with. My, my, what a lovely dinner. I did cut everything in 1/2 as there are just two of us here. Made my own version of brown gravy as I didn't have packaged on hand. Still turned out good. My compliments to you and your mom!!! Laudee C.
