Hamburger Steaks with Gravy (Printer-Friendly)

Tender hamburger steaks smothered in rich gravy atop creamy mashed potatoes for an easy, comforting dinner.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Hamburger Steaks

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 2 pounds ground beef
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
05 - 1 ounce packet dried onion soup mix (reserve half for gravy)

→ Gravy

06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
08 - Remaining half of onion soup mix packet
09 - 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
10 - 2 cups water
11 - 1½ cups 2% milk

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large bowl, mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, and half the onion soup mix until thoroughly combined.
02 - Shape the mixture into four equal patties or smaller if preferred for quicker cooking.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), approximately 12-15 minutes. Cover the skillet to reduce cooking time if desired.
04 - Transfer cooked patties to a plate and set aside. Leave the drippings in the skillet for gravy preparation.
05 - Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in flour, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining onion soup mix, whisking continuously to form a roux with a lumpy texture.
06 - Slowly pour in water and milk while whisking to eliminate lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the gravy thickens to a smooth consistency.
07 - Return patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over the top to coat evenly, and serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For faster cooking, form smaller patties. Using a lid while cooking helps retain heat and reduces cooking time.
