Murphy’s Hot Hamburger

I just found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen posted by Alisha

It is definitely a splurge, but I had to share it.

This one is for you Lynnie B!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
• 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
• 5 Tablespoons Flour
• 2 cans (14 Oz. Can) Beef Broth OR 4 Cups Water With Beef Bouillon
• 5 whole Large Potatoes
• 1 Tablespoon Oil, Or As Needed
• Salt And Pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Slice potatoes into fries. Place on a large baking sheet.
   
2. Pour about 1 tablespoon of oil over the fries and toss with fingers to coat evenly.
   
3. Sprinkle fries with seasoning of choice. I use seasoned salt.
   
4. Place in the oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until golden and crispy.
5. In a mixing bowl, mix hamburger, garlic, seasoned salt, onion powder and salt and pepper.
   
6. Mix well with hands. Form 4 large patties. I like to make really rustic, greasy diner-style patties with no uniform shape.
   
7. Place in a large preheated skillet over medium heat, preferably one with deep sides. Brown burgers on each side until done.
8. Remove burgers from the skillet and place on a plate covered in paper towels. Do not drain the grease.
   
9. Add the flour a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a whisk. You have enough when the grease is all absorbed and the flour mixture gets thick and bubbly.
   
10. Slowly add the broth a little at a time, whisking constantly.
    
11. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken.
12. To serve, place an ample amount of fries on the plate.
    
13. Place a hamburger on top of the fries and cover it all amply in gravy. Enjoy!
