Rick’s Hamburger Gravy in Minutes

I make this all the time at home and I have it down to a 20 minute meal!  I keep turkey burger patties in my freezer and they thaw in 2 minutes in the microwave.

Ingredients

2   Lrg            Russet Potato

2   4 oz          Burger Patties  (thawed & broken up)

1   Sm.           Onion  Diced

1    Ea            Carrot Diced

2   Rib            Celery Diced

1   Cup           Baby Peas

1/4 Lb            Mushrooms sliced

1/2 ts           Thyme

1   Tbs           Worcestershire or A-1 Sauce  (or both)

1   Cup           Stock

1   ts              Corn Starch  (In a slurry)

1  Tbs             Oil

Method:

Place the potatoes in the Microwave over and cook till tender about 10 minutes.  Keep turning the potatoes so they cook evenly.

In a hot saute pan add oil, onion, celery, and carrots, sweat the vegetables and add the burger.  Saute this mixture till the meat is cooked and add the mushrooms, cook this mixture for a couple minutes and add the thyme.  Pour  the stock and Worcestershire into the pan and bring it to a rapid boil.  When the vegetables are tender , add the peas, turn down the heat and add the corn starch slurry.  Stir the mixture together and cook until the sauce is hot and thick.  Check the flavor and add Salt & Pepper to taste.

Cut the baked potatoes into cubes on two plates and divide the sauce over both potatoes.

Try adding more vegetables, Tomato or Wine!
