Hamburger Steaks and Gravy Oh My

Hamburger Steaks

note I made the gravy from the leftover juices in the pan, added some corn starch dissolved in water. Salt and Pepper DELICIOUS

Recipe from Southern Plate found here

*This recipe feeds as many as you make patties for

• Ground Beef (can use lean, ground chuck, etc)
• 1 Cup Beef Broth
• All Purpose Flour
• Vidalia or other sweet onion, sliced

Heat one or two tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet. Press ground beef into doughnut shaped patties (the hole in the center will allow it to cook more evenly and will fill in as they shrink during cooking). Dip each patty into flour on both sides and place in hot skillet over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until browned. Scoot patties to one side and add onions to skillet. Stir and cook for a few minutes until lightly browned. Pour in 1 cup beef broth and cover. Allow to cook until meat is no longer pink in the center, about ten minutes.

Fried Chicken

We mixed 4 eggs with about about 1/2 C or so of Jake's hot sauce and mixed that is your egg batter

Flour mixture, I mixed about 2 C flour and added some red pepper flakes, some cayenne pepper and some Paula Deen's Seasoning Ill leave the recipe for that

First salt and pepper your chicken pieces and let them sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Dredge your chicken pieces first in flour, then in the egg mixture , then back in the flour

fry in hot oil , (fill your pan no more than halfway full of oil or it may run over when you add in your chicken)

fry until the juices run clear and let sit on paper towels or newspaper until cool enough to eat

YUMMM

Enchilada Casserole

This isnt really a recipe but rather something I whip up now and again for my family, I brown about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef with some chopped onions, I season with salt,pepper, and some garlic powder. set aside, then in another bowl grate a big ol bowl of cheese (i love cheese lol) Then I take a 29.2 oz can of Rosarita mild enchilada sauce and spread a little in the bottom of a 13x9 inch casserole dish, layer on top of that 6 corn tortillas one in each corner and 2 in the middle, spread a little sauce, some meat mixure, then cheese, then another layer of tortillas, meat, cheese and top with one last layer so you have 3 in all, the top will have sauce, meat then cheese. I like to add sauce here and there and on some of the cheese between layers just because I dont like dry spots lol, Bake at 350 for about 25-30 mins or til it is heated through, VERY tasty..it does tend to get a little soggy in there from all the sauce on the tortillas, but no one in my family minds it, if you dont like a little sogginess you may not want to try this one. My hubby gags at soggy things but can still eat this casserole. MUCH easier than rolling them or doing the stack method although I used to do the stacking style, maybe I should post that one too later :D
