Hamburger Steak with Gravy

Hamburger Steak with Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 (10½ oz) can Campbell’s French Onion Soup
• 1½ lbs ground beef
• ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
• Salt and black pepper — to taste

(Optional)

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for extra flavor)
• Fresh parsley — for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
   In a large bowl, combine:
   • Ground beef
   • Breadcrumbs
   • Egg
   • ¼ cup of the French onion soup (reserve the rest for the gravy)
     Mix well until blended.
2. Form Patties:
   Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 patties (about ¾ inch thick).
3. Cook the Patties:
   Heat oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   Add patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned.
   Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Gravy:
   Drain any excess fat from the pan.
   In the same skillet, stir in the remaining soup and 1 tablespoon of flour.
   Gradually add ¼ cup water, stirring until smooth.
   Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens into a rich gravy (about 3–4 minutes).
5. Simmer Everything Together:
   Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet.
   Spoon gravy over the top.
   Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through.
6. Serve:
   Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
   Spoon the onion gravy over the top and sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Perfect sides: mashed potatoes, green beans, steamed broccoli, or buttered corn.
• Add a little Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to the beef for extra depth of flavor.
