Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix 1 box
  • 1½ - 2 lbs ground beef
  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 whole egg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 4 envelopes Lipton Beef Gravy 2 boxes
  • ½ cup flour
  • 8 cups water

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix together both envelopes of Lipton Onion Soup Mix with the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Shape into about 8–9 patties.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the patties until browned on both sides and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. In a large pot, whisk together the Lipton Beef Gravy packets, flour, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  4. Add the cooked hamburger patties to the pot of gravy. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so the gravy doesn’t stick.
  5. Serve warm with mashed potatoes, green beans, or soft dinner rolls for a true Southern comfort meal.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 8–9 patties.
  • If you prefer to make it from scratch, you can substitute homemade onion soup mix and brown gravy. There are many easy copycat versions online.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in the gravy. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a complete meal, serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, and warm rolls.
