Hamburger Patties

Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine 1/4 cup mushroom soup, ground beef, bread crumbs, beaten egg, and chopped onion. Mix well and shape into patties.
- Brown the patties in a skillet; drain off excess grease.
- In a separate bowl, mix remaining mushroom soup with water.
- Pour the soup mixture over the browned patties and let simmer, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. If you're out of bread crumbs, crushed crackers or oats work well as substitutes. To ensure the patties hold together, mix gently but thoroughly without overworking the meat. For a unique twist, try adding your favorite herbs or spices to personalize the taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hamburger patties over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful sauce. Pair with steamed vegetables or a crisp salad for a balanced meal. These patties also work well in a bun, topped with your favorite condiments. For a hearty side, consider serving with Coriander Flavored Rice or enjoy alongside a comforting dish like Chipped Beef Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to keep them moist. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through, ensuring they don’t dry out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the hamburger patties before cooking?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking for best results.
What can I use instead of beef mushroom soup?
If you don't have beef mushroom soup, you can substitute with cream of mushroom soup or a homemade mixture of beef broth and sautéed mushrooms. This will maintain a similar flavor profile and ensure your patties remain moist during cooking.
How can I make the patties more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of the patties, consider mixing in some grated cheese or finely chopped bell peppers. Adding a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning blend can also elevate the taste. Experiment with different spices to create a dish that suits your palate.
