Hamburger Steaks with Gravy

I just made this tonight for dinner. I was not sure if it would be good or totally tank but it was delicious! This dish is especially comforting on a cold 8 degree night like tonight.
* Recipe only makes four servings so you may want to double it



1 egg
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1 envelope onion soup mix, divided
Dash pepper
1 lb. ground beef
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cups cold water
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Hot cooked mashed potatoes


In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, 2 Tbsp. soup mix, and pepper. Mix with beef. Shape into four patties.


In a large skillet, cook patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.


Combine the flour, water, Worchestershire sauce and remaining soup mix until blended; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 5 minutes or until thickened. Serve with patties and mashed potatoes.

Taco Pizza

My mom used to make this for me when I was younger. It is simple and so so so yummy. My husband Chris could not get enough of it when I made it the other night. To save money I just made my own crescent roll dough but the canned kind works great as well.

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 pound ground beef

1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning

1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained

1 medium tomato, chopped

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce

Unroll crescent roll dough and place in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Flatten dough to fit the pan, sealing seams and perforations. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown; cool. In a small bowl, blend cream cheese and sour cream with a wire whisk; spread over crust. Chill 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, brown beef; drain. Stir in taco seasoning. Add water according to package directions and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with olives, tomato, cheeses and lettuce. Cut into serving-size pieces. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
