Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

This is one of Jerry's favorite recipes of mine. It's such an awesome comfort food to come home to from a long day at the office or in my case, a long day with the kids (and one that I know they will actually eat). See my note at the bottom about the gravy... Definitely consider it! I love to serve this over rice with a side of steamed veggies or with made from scratch mashed potatoes.

    1 pound ground beef
    1 egg
    1/4 cup bread crumbs
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup beef/chicken broth
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 8 balls, and flatten into patties.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.

Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the broth. Season with seasoned salt. Simmer and stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.

**My suggestion is to make double gravy. You would take 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp seasoned salt and 2 cups broth. You will thank me :)
