This is a dish that my grandmother made pretty often when we all were kids. Later, this was a meal that we would have at family gatherings and it became another one of my favorites.

How to Make Hamburger Steak & Onion Gravy
- Heat the oil over medium high in a large heavy-bottomed stainless skillet.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the ground chuck, chopped onion, egg, hot sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper. Shape into 4 to 6 equal sized patties.
- Dip each patty into the flour and cook until browned on both sides; remove and set those aside.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly caramelized, stirring regularly.
- Whisk together the beef broth and water with 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoned salt and pepper to taste until well combined. Pour into the skillet with the onions and stir constantly, until mixture begins to thicken.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, turn to coat, add sliced mushrooms if using, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook, covered, for about 20 minutes longer.
- Cook's Note: The brown gravy for these patties is pretty good on its own since it's made from the pan drippings. But if you have some Kitchen Bouquet, just a splash of it adds a bit more depth and is delicious. If you find that you need a binder, add in some fresh bread crumbs to the ground beef. If using pre-made hamburger steak patties, omit the onion, egg and hot sauce, 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 with the remaining recipe.
