Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy


There are some dishes that are the epitome of comfort food: hamburger steak with onions and gravy is one of those.
I grew up eating this meal alongside mashed potatoes, sweet peas, and dinner rolls.
Still today, the smell of onions and gravy reminds me of the good old days when life was easy, wonderful, and almost nothing mattered.

Anyways, this is the classic recipe for a hamburger steak with no bells or whistles. Even though I love adding new things like carrots and celery and swapping out things occasionally, sometimes you just want a straight up classic. Pure, plain, and simple.

Just a few easy ingredients brought together to sooth the soul and easily feed a crowd.

Tender and delicious hamburger patties melt in your mouth and the brown onion gravy is just out of this world.
This is definitely not the most photogenic dish but please do not judge this by all its brownish appearance. What it lacks in looks, it makes up for in flavor.
A comforting, hearty meal that is sure to please everybody!

  7. Made this tonight to share with friends. I could not have made anything they would have enjoyed more... they loved it. She said it was the best hamburger steak she ever had and her husband says it beats any he has had at any restaurant. I made the recipe almost exactly by the recipe, except I used 80/20. Thanks for helping me get such rave reviews... made my day.
