Hamburger Steaks with Gravy

So I recently thawed a pound of ground beef in order to make the aforementioned Shepherd's Pie, only to find that my potatoes had gone soft. I don't cook a lot of beef simply because it doesn't go as easy on my stomach, and I haven't tried many recipes with it. So generally, if I'm not making a Shepherd's Pie, or my husband isn't making hamburgers...I don't know what to do with it! It was too cold to grill out so I started searching online and came across hamburger steaks! I have never eaten hamburger steaks and I was surprised at how easy the recipes looked! I ended up winging it, as usual, after finding a few different options online. This is what I came up with!

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 an onion chopped in big pieces
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of pepper
1/2 cup of water

You will also need a bit of all-purpose flour and a container of beef stock for the gravy.

Combine the first set of ingredients, except the onions, in a bowl (I use my fingers) and, after combining them well, form 4 patties. Put them in a large pan at medium heat and brown both sides. Be careful when flipping because the patties are delicate at this point due to the water that's in them. (This steams inside and makes them super moist!)
       After you get a decent amount of grease in the bottom of your pan, carefully pour it off into a medium pan and then set it at low heat. Leave your patties on the burner, add the onions and cover. While they continue to cook, begin adding your flour a little at a time to the grease while whisking quickly to avoid clumps. When It begins to look pasty, add your beef stock slowly. Gravy is a finicky beast. It is best to alternate, little by little, between flour and stock, until you reach your desired consistency. I found that I used about 1/4 cup of flour and about 1 cup  of stock. Once you've reached the right consistency, add some salt and pepper to taste.
You may want to flip your steaks at this point, and of course stir around your onions, add the gravy to the top of the steaks and cover again until they are well done. I found that mine cooked in about 35 minutes after covering.

I loved how mine turned out and my husband assured me that they tasted how hamburger steak should taste. He really liked them and requested that they be added to our "permanent list" of recipes. I will definitely make them again, but I may add a dash of Worcestershire next time, please let me know if any of you try that! I served mine with green beans and corn muffins!
