I gave the original recipe as published here 3 stars. With some modifications, it becomes a 4-5 star recipe. I added 2 eggs instead of one to the meat and included some diced dehydrated onion and shredded Parmesan cheese as well. I formed 6 patties and dredged them in flour that I added seasoning salt and steak seasoning to. Once they were fried up, I used the extra dredging flour in the gravy mix. I added a Tablespoon of butter and some French's toasted onions (the kind used in that wonderful Thanksgiving green bean casserole). Once this formed a roux, I added one can of French onion soup mix and one can of beef broth. I didn't have sherry, so I used a white table wine...worked fine. I served this with mashed potatoes and a pear Gorgonzola salad. My husband INHALED his dinner, and my son went back for seconds. VERY good. I will make it again.

I liked this recipe, but I doctored it a bit. I fried up the ground beef in a bit of the bacon grease I had left over from the morning's breakfast. I also finely chopped an onion, and threw that in along with about half a pound of sliced mushrooms. I drained the meat before I added the flour and seasoned it with a Montreal Steak seasoning blend that we had in the cupboard, along with a little salt. I served it over a rice that had been cooked in a beef broth, so it was pretty savory. I would make it again.
