Onion Burger Steaks with Brown Gravy

It’s Christmas break, y’all. That means my children are home with me full time. Multiply that times rainy weather and Christmas excitement, and you’ve got a house full of mayhem. I don’t know if I’m going to survive the next two weeks! I actually have a babysitter with them now so I can get some work done, like taking photos of these tasty hamburger steaks.

Yesterday I took the kids to the grocery store in the rain, which I thought would be an ordeal, but it wasn’t too bad because it was pretty empty in the store. No one wants to shop in the rain! I got groceries for a few dinners including turkey burgers, but when it came time to cook, I realized I forgot lettuce and tomato. I wasn’t going to serve a plate of burger patties with french fries, so I had to make last-minute changes.

Fortunately, I found a bag of frozen green beans, and everybody knows that green beans go great with meat and gravy. That’s when I decided to make onion burger steaks instead of cheeseburgers. These fork tender patties are an easy and less expensive option than actual steaks. I used half an onion in the burgers and the other half in the green beans. I don’t have a recipe for the beans, but just saute a chopped slice of bacon with the diced onion until most of the fat is rendered. Pour in the green beans (still frozen), and add about a half cup of water and salt to taste. Stir them up with the bacon and onions. Put a lid on, and reduce heat to low. Cook them while you make the burgers, and they should be done at the same time. Easy. Peasy.

Need help making gravy? I have a video showing you how right here. That’s easy too. This whole meal is great for when you have a pound of ground turkey or beef on hand but don’t know what to make. Burgers with gravy are an always welcome dinner at our place. I hope you enjoy them too!

    Oh my gosh these remind me of my childhood! My mom would make something very similar to this and she called them sizzle burgers. I love the brown gravy you made!
