Gravy burgers tonight

[ricksrealpitbbq]

This is one of those things I actually came up with on my very own. For some reason I always liked Salisbury steak when I was a kid and that's what inspired me to try this years ago. It's pretty easy.

First you fry up some burgers. Then I take one envelope of lipton onion soup mix and one envelope of brown gravy mix and add 2 cups of water. Mix it up.
Place burgers in a baking dish, and cover with soup and gravy mixture. Bake in the oven at 350 for about an hour or so until gravy has thickened up.

This goes great with mashed potatoes which is what I've got planned for tonight

I'll get pics up when it's all done

Sounds good!

I like to make nice big thick burgers, fry with onions, and put losse ground beef in the pan to fry with it. When the burgers are done - make a good hamburger gravy (all those nice little lumps of ground beef in it) mmmmmmmmmmm

Well my menu got changed up a bit. I was planning on mashed potatoes but the burgers got a bit dried out and there wasn't much gravy. SO I decided to fry up some potatoes with onions mmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Here it is

I love taters and onions - heck i love onions with anything! Looks good!

I could stand a big plate of that. Like Mama said "anything with onions".

This is how I make Salisbury Steak "We call it hamburger steak" and gravy. Brown the beef lightly on each side. Mix together 1 1/2 cups beef broth (I use a powdered low sodium called Herb-Ox) with 2 Tbs all-purpose flour (you can add a cup of mushrooms if you want but I usually opt for 1/2 cup of chopped onions). Add this mixture to the patties and simmer until the gravy is thickened and the beef is done.

You have to remember everything I do is low sodium so add some salt and use whatever broth you want.

Now you have to tell us about that bread I see on your plate. That alone would justify making a gravy just to pour over it.

JP, the bread was my dutch oven bread. I love it but there is one bread I really want to master. A nice Italian split loaf, who know if I can do that I may attempt a braid

I love salisbury steaks too Rick and make them often. Just a meatloaf/meatball mix, with egg and bread crumbs, shaped into patties, brown the patties and the simmer in the gravy. I am a big fan of Lipton Beefy onion soup mix and also liquid smoke for the char grilled taste, lol.

Yes, I do appreciate liquid smoke at times.

Darn Rick and his pictures. That looked so good I had to make it tonight. Used the gravy over brown rice. Didn't know you needed to simmer brown rice so long but it was worth it.

Yeah JP brown rice takes forever to get done (well sometime it seems like it) and I like it, but my favorite rices are Basmati and Jasmine, have you ever tried them? The Basmati I can fine on occassion at Big Lots for a real reasonable price, otherwise it is kind of exspensive. They are just nice tasting rices, the first time I ever tasted Basmati I was blown away, and wanted no othe rice ever I finally did break away from it exclusively and am glad I did. I guess my favorite brown rice is the type that is mixed with wild rice.
