Slow Cooker Hamburger Steak and Gravy with Mashed Potatoes

Also served with Green Peas

Slow Cooker Hamburger Steak and Gravy



Ingredients:
• 2 ½ lbs ground beef
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 3 c. bread crumbs
• 2 c. flour
• 7 packets mushroom gravy mix
• 4 ½ c. water
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 large can sliced mushrooms


Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and salt and pepper until well blended.
2. Form hamburger patties to your liking. Roll each patty in flour. Brown on each side in skillet. Place in bottom of slow cooker.
3. In skillet (I used the same one as I browned the hamburgers in), mix water and mushroom gravy packets together. (**This is not how the packets directions say to mix it. But, I like it this way.**) Continue to let simmer until completely mixed.
4. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms to the slow cooker over the patties. Pour the gravy over the hamburger.
5. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. If your gravy is too thin, add some cornstarch. If it’s too thick, add some water.


Mashed Potatoes


Ingredients:
• About 8 large potatoes, cubed into small pieces
• 2 ½ c. milk
• 2 tbsp. sour cream
• 2 tbsp. butter
• Salt and pepper to taste.


Directions:
1. Boil potatoes in large pot until soft. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they soften. Drain.
2. Add potatoes back to pot. Add milk, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix until desired consistency.


**NOTE: Some amounts are approximate. This is another recipe where I “eyeball” the ingredients.**
