Hamburger Patties With Gravy
Juicy hamburger patties topped with rich gravy, perfect for comforting family dinners. Simple to prepare with flavorful browned beef, tender onions, and savory sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Shape the ground beef into 7 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper, then dip them in flour.
- Brown the patties in a skillet with Wesson oil.
- Add hot water and chopped small onion to the skillet.
- Simmer the mixture with the skillet covered for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the patties before browning. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If you don't have Wesson oil, any neutral oil will work. For a thicker gravy, increase the flour gradually until you reach your desired consistency. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ground beef from dishes like Cheesy Ground Beef Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hamburger patties with gravy over mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty meal. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad to balance the richness. This dish also pairs beautifully with American recipes like Mam-Mas' Texas Beef Casserole for a comforting dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hamburger patties with gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, and cover until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, checking frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the hamburger patties with gravy?
Yes, you can freeze the patties with gravy. Allow them to cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
What can I use instead of flour for the gravy?
For a gluten-free option, you can use cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend to thicken the gravy. Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry before adding it to the skillet.

To enhance the flavor of the patties, consider adding minced garlic, chopped herbs like parsley or thyme, or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture before shaping. This will give the patties an extra kick.
