Smothered Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

1. Beef Base Substitute: If you don’t have beef base, use 1 beef bouillon cube dissolved in 1 tablespoon of hot water.
2. Bread Substitute: If you don’t have white bread, you can use breadcrumbs (about ½ cup) or crushed saltine crackers.
3. Extra Flavor: Add sliced onions or mushrooms to the skillet when making the gravy for extra depth of flavor.
4. Thicker Gravy: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the gravy during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
5. Make Ahead: This dish reheats well, so it’s great for meal prep or leftovers.

This recipe is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for a cozy, satisfying dinner. Enjoy!
