mysonshine's Note:

An easy hamburger steak recipe, smothered in brown gravy. Good comfort food!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 2-3

Yield: 2.0 hamburg ...

• ground beef (can use lean ground round)
• 1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup water (1/2 to 1 cup) or 1 cup milk (1/2 to 1 cup)
• 1 (1 ounce) package brown gravy mix (packet size varies)

Directions:

1. Dice onion and add to the ground beef. (If using onion soup mix, blend well in ground beef.).
2. Mix and form into patties.
3. Fry the patties in skillet on medium heat until cooked to your liking.
4. I usually fry until they are medium-well to well done.
5. While patties are cooking, mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 to 1 cup water or milk, and brown gravy packet/mix in a bowl, stirring well.
6. After patties are browned and ready, add the soup mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to simmer; spread the mixture over the patties and turn them once or twice as the mixture warms.
7. Stir mixture occasionally.
8. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until gravy is good and hot.
9. Serve with mashed potatoes, your choice of veggies, a good salad, hot rolls or bread, and a cold glass of iced tea.
10. Of course, this recipe can be doubled. Serving size depends on how hungry your family or company is! ;).
11. Kind of a "blue-plate" special!

Easy recipe for simple comfort food. I used onion soup mix in the ground beef and probably more than 1 cup of water in my gravy. The meal was tasty, and we chose to ladle our gravy over buttered egg noodles. Roasted green beans were a nice side.

Pure comfort food! I had some pre-made hamburger patties that I wanted to use. So instead of making the patties using this recipe, I substituted the pre-made ones instead. I added a cup of water but it was quite salty. Maybe next time I'll add a can of water instead. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

On 6/29/10, I made exactly what Michelles3boys's was making for her dinner( Well, I actually stole her idea :) ).I took her suggestion and added an egg ,then added 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. I also used the onion soup mix.Other than those changes, the recipe was made as written. And if you are searching for " comfort food " that is quick,easy, and tastes good then your search is over. This will be made more times than you can imagine. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
