The Bayou Belle

2lb ground beef

1 egg

1/4cup Italian bread crumbs

1tsp salt

1/2tsp pepper

1tsp onion powder

1tsp garlic powder

2tsp worcestershire sauce

2tbsp oil, or more as needed

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl

Form patties

Heat up pan you will fry the patties in, medium

Fry patties, keep on medium heat, it will take longer but it is important to not burn the bottom of your pan so when you make your gravy it will taste good!

1 large onion, diced fine

1/2 stick butter

4tbsp flour

5cups of water

2 cup sliced mushrooms

7 Beef bouillon cubes

After you fry your patties, put the butter in the pan and melt it around

Place in the onions, and mix around. This will help get all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan

Sprinkle in the flour

Mix around with the onions until combined

Place bouillon cubes in water and mix, pour in the pan

Mix it up and break apart the cubes

Place the mushrooms in the pan

The gravy will start to thicken, if it gets too thick put more water. Taste for salt because the bouillon cubes are salty, so you may have to add more water (just mix in a little flour so it will stay thick).

When the gravy thickens up, place your hamburger patties back in the pan
