Beef Patties With Potatoes And Onions
Hearty beef patties with tender potatoes and sweet onions create a comforting, flavorful meal perfect for family dinners and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Shape into 10 to 12 small patties and coat with flour.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Sauté sliced onions until tender but not browned. Remove onions from skillet.
- Add beef patties to the skillet and brown them on both sides.
- Layer sliced potatoes and sautéed onions over the browned patties. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Pour boiling water into the skillet and cover tightly.
- Cook over low to medium-low heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like parsley and thyme to the beef mixture. If you don't have bread crumbs, crushed crackers or oats can work as substitutes. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear. For a different texture, try using sweet potatoes instead of regular ones.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef patties with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese on top can enhance the flavors. This dish pairs beautifully with Calico Beans By Linda And Chuck for a hearty feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to create steam, or microwave in short intervals until heated through, ensuring the potatoes do not dry out.
