SMOTHERED HAMBURGER PATTIES

Tender patties topped with a creamy gravy.

2 lb. lean ground beef

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1-1/3 cups water

1/2 cup BEEF GRAVY MIX, page 61

Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Form ground beef into 8 to 10 patties. In a large skillet, melt shortening. Dip each patty in flour, coating both sides. Sear in hot shortening, turning once. Arrange seared patties in a 13” x 9” baking dish.

In a medium saucepan, combine sauce or soup, water and BEEF GRAVY MIX. Stir with a wire whisk over medium heat until slightly thickened. Pour evenly over meat. Cover and bake 1 hour in preheated oven. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
