Hamburger Steaks with Gravy & Mashed Potatoes A simple comfort-food dinner with seasoned hamburger steaks smothered in a rich onion gravy and served over creamy homemade mashed potatoes. Ingredients For the Hamburger Steaks & Gravy 1½ lbs ground beef (I use 85/15) Onion powder, to taste Garlic powder, to taste Black pepper, to taste Ground mustard, to taste Salt, optional 1 onion, sliced 1 (10.5 oz) can French onion soup 1 packet brown gravy mix @Fire & Smoke Society ½ cup water 1–2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce For the Mashed Potatoes 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered 1 stick (½ cup) butter ⅔ cup milk Splash of heavy cream 1½ tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper Directions 1. Add the peeled and quartered potatoes to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender. 2. While the potatoes are cooking, divide the ground beef into 4–5 portions and shape into hamburger steaks. Season both sides evenly with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and ground mustard. You can add salt if you'd like, but I usually skip it since the gravy has plenty of flavor and salt. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 4. Carefully remove about half of the grease from the skillet, leaving some behind for flavor. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and beginning to caramelize. 5. Add the French onion soup, brown gravy mix, ½ cup water, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir well, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits from the bottom. 6. Add the hamburger steaks back to the skillet and spoon the onion gravy over the top. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes until the gravy has thickened and the steaks are heated through. 7. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot or mixer. Add the butter, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash or mix until creamy and smooth. Add a little more milk or cream if needed to reach your preferred consistency. 8. Spoon a generous helping of mashed potatoes onto each plate, top with a hamburger steak, and pour plenty of that onion gravy over everything. #EasyRecipe #DinnerIdeas #easydinner #comfortfood #quickrecipes — TikTok de @caitlynskitchen
