Some people call this “Poor Man’s Steak”, but I have never personally never liked the sound of that name. So, fried beef patties it is. This is a fast, simple, and hearty little meal.You can also make this gluten free by using oatmeal in the meat mixture and almond flour  regular flour.

To have a complete meal, I like making gravy to serve over top of it with biscuits and vegetables on the side. There is nothing like a home cooked comfort food like this one. Enjoy!
