Yields

8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (1 kilo) ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 package of Knorr Onion Soup (divided)
  • garlic powder to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 cups water (about)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Maggi (what’s that stuff called again? Kitchen Bouquet I think)
  • a sprig or 2 of thyme
  • some more pepper for good measure

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 of the package of soup, garlic powder and pepper.
  2. Mix it up with your hands, it’s the only way to really combine it all.
  3. Form 8 patties.
  4. Heat a large skillet over moderate heat and brown the patties on both sides.
  5. Do this in batches if you need to, reserving cooked patties on a plate.
  6. Using the same pan, add water, remaining soup, Worcestershire (jeez that word is hard to type), Maggi, thyme and pepper and stir it all up.
  7. Test for seasoning.
  8. Return patties to the pan and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.
  9. Thicken sauce if you feel like it.
