Recipe of the Week - Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy

 

This started out as a recipe I found for Salisbury Steak that did not work out well.  I always follow a recipe the way it is written the first time, then will make adjustments as needed.  Well, I followed the directions exactly and ended up with a burnt pan and no gravy at all.  I still ate the steaks because they were salvageable...with a lot of ketchup! But there were enough elements in the recipe that I tweaked it and made a very good hamburger steak with onion gravy recipe.  Hope you enjoy!

Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy

1.5 lbs ground beef

1 10.5oz can condensed French onion soup, divided into 1/3 and 2/3

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1 egg

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 tsp cornstarch + 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water for slurry

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup water

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp dried mustard

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Combine first six ingredients using only 1/3 of condensed soup.  Shape into 6 or 7 patties.  Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with oil.  Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.

In a saucepan, whisk the remaining ingredients except for the slurry.  Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Add slurry and stir until sauce thickens.
