Made these for supper a while back, and the whole family loved them.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Many times comfort food consists of hours of cooking. This open-faced hamburger steak sandwich is an easy way to have a home-cooked and comforting meal rather quickly. The hamburger steak is well seasoned and smothered with a beef and mushroom gravy and then topped with slightly caramelized onions. Adding Worchestershire and A1 sauces to the ground beef adds flavor to the hamburgers. Serve over crusty, toasted bread or a bed of rice.
