Hamburger Steaks with Potatoes and Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (formed into 4 patties)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• garlic powder (to taste)
• onion powder (to taste)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
• 3 russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
• 2 carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
• 2 oz brown gravy mix (2 packets (approx. 0.87-1 oz each))
• 2 cup water

Steps

1. 1

   Season the ground beef patties on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove patties from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same pan, add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the two packets of brown gravy mix with 2 cups of water until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour the gravy mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.

6. 6

   Place the seared hamburger patties back into the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables and gravy.

7. 7

   Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.

8. 8

   Serve the hamburger steaks topped with the gravy and vegetables.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add sliced onions or mushrooms to the pan when searing the meat. If the gravy gets too thick, add a splash of water or beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
