Make patties and season as desired. I use season salt, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Brown patties and remove from skillet. Set aside. You should have about 4 tablespoons of grease in the skillet. If hamburger is lean, you can add butter or oil to make 4 tablespoons.

Add onions and mushrooms and saute until onions are clear and mushrooms after tender.

Add flour and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.

Add equal amounts of water and beef broth, about 3 cups total. Stir to mix well and bring mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to simmer.

Add patties back to gravy mixture and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
