Hamburger Steaks in Onion/ Mushroom Gravy

 Do you ever watch Brenda Gandt videos on Facebook?  She is a cute southern lady who cooks simple Southern recipes right in her simple kitchen. 

 I wrote down this recipe while she cooked.  It is simple, but delicious.  This one is for your meat and potatoes man.

Hamburger Steaks in Onion Gravy

1 1/2 lb. hamburger

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Salt and Pepper

Mix together and form into patties.  Melt butter and fry the patties on both sides.  Remove the meat and add flour, enough to soak up the grease.  Stir the flour with the meat drippings.  Add water (she used water, I chose beef broth) or beef broth to make a gravy.  In a separate fry pan, saute  2 onions sliced thin in butter.  Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until onions are soft and golden.  Add mushrooms (opt.  This is my addition) and continue to cook for awhile.  Add to the gravy and stir well. Put the meat back in the gravy and cook until it makes a nice gravy.  Serve over mashed potatoes.

This is comfort food at its best!
