French Onion Hamburger Steaks

I found this French onion soup shortcut gravy idea in a chicken recipe online and knew right away I wanted to use this to give a new flavor to our hamburger steaks with gravy.  You can make this same gravy recipe with chicken and chicken stock instead of beef.  I love the French onion flavor!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cans French onion soup
• 1 sweet onion, halved and sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2-1 cup beef broth

Preparation:

• Crumble beef in a large bowl and generously season (about 1 teaspoon each) with seasonings.
• Add about 5-6 dashes Worcestershire & ketchup, mix, and form into patties.
• Heat a large skillet with a little oil on medium high.
• Cook patties about 4 minutes per side and remove to a plate. (they will cook more in the gravy later)
• Add onions to the same pan and cook until soft, about 6 minutes.
• Mix the flour into the onions and cook 1 minute.
• Add soup and 1/2 cup beef broth to onions and stir.
• Add hamburger patties back into the pan and coat/cover with gravy.
• Cover and cook about 15 minutes on medium low to finish cooking hamburger steaks.
• Add more beef broth if gravy gets too thick.
• Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
