Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy and Mashed Potatoes recipe for maximum flavor and texture:

Ingredients:

  • Frozen hamburger patties (as many as you need for your family, typically 4-6 patties)
  • 6 Yukon potatoes, peeled and cut into even-sized chunks
  • 3 cans of Great Value brown gravy with onions
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for creamy mashed potatoes)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (for extra richness in the potatoes)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for added flavor in mashed potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream (to make the mashed potatoes smoother)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (optional for extra onion flavor in the gravy)
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder (for seasoning the patties and mashed potatoes)
  • Optional seasoning for patties: Worcestershire sauce (about 1 tbsp), steak seasoning, or paprika

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Hamburger Patties

  1. Season the Patties:
  • Take the frozen hamburger patties and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can add Worcestershire sauce or steak seasoning for an extra depth of flavor.
  1. Cook the Patties:
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  • Place the seasoned patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. The patties should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (if using beef).
  • Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 2: Make the Onion Gravy

  1. Optional: Caramelize Onion:
  • In the same skillet, add a little more butter and throw in thinly sliced onion (optional). Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  1. Prepare the Gravy:
  • Add the 3 cans of brown gravy with onions into the skillet, stirring it into the onions (if you used them) to soak up all the leftover flavors from cooking the patties.
  • Let the gravy simmer for a couple of minutes on low heat while stirring occasionally. This will thicken the gravy and meld the flavors.

Step 3: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

  1. Boil the Potatoes:
  • In a large pot, place the peeled and chopped Yukon potatoes in cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  1. Mash the Potatoes:
  • Add butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and milk to the cooked potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  • For even smoother potatoes, use a hand mixer to whip them into a fluffy consistency.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

  1. Plate the Dish:
  • Place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate.
  • Top with one or two hamburger patties.
  • Pour the rich onion gravy over both the patties and mashed potatoes.
  1. Serve Hot:
  • For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if you have them.

Tips & Additions:

  • For a spicier kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the gravy.
  • Add mushrooms to the gravy along with the onions for a savory, earthy flavor.
  • Make the meal complete by adding a side of steamed veggies or a green salad.

Serving Suggestions:

This dish pairs perfectly with a side of green beans, roasted vegetables, or even a fresh green salad to add a little crunch and balance out the richness.
