hamburger steak with creamy onion gravy
I tried this with my family and they liked it. The brown gravy for these is pretty good all on its own since it's reliant on the pan drippings, but if you have it, just a splash of Kitchen Bouquet adds a bit more depth and is delicious. If you find that you need a binder, add some fresh bread crumbs to the ground beef. If using pre-made hamburger steak patties, omit the onion, and egg and sprinkle both sides of the patties with the seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper, pressing in the seasoning a bit. Then dip each patty in the flour and proceed.
