  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       ounce packet  onion soup mix
  2               cups  water
  1 1/2         pounds  lean ground beef
     1/4           cup  parsley -- loosely packed
  4 1/2    tablespoons  flour -- divided
  1 1/2    tablespoons  butter or margarine
  1              large  onion -- peeled, halved and sliced
  12            ounces  sliced mushrooms -- sliced or (2) 4 ounce cans mushrooms
  1                     beef bouillon cube -- or 1 teaspoon beef base

Mix 2 tablespoons of the soup mix and 1/4 cup of water in a large bowl. Add ground beef and parsley; mix with hands until blended. Shape into 4 oval patties, about 5 inches long and approximately 2/3 of an inch thick.

Coat patties with 2 tablespoons of flour. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook about 10-15 minutes, turning over once. Cook until crusty and no longer pink in the middle. Remove patties to a plate.

Add onions, mushrooms and 1/4 cup of water to drippings in skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits on bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in mushrooms.

Mix remaining soup mix, 1 1/2 cups water and 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl. Stir into mushroom mixture, add bouillon cube and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 3 minutes.

For OAMC: Pour some gravy into an 8 x 8 aluminum pan, then place patties on top. Pour the remaining gravy over top. Cool. Then cover and label.

For serving day: Thaw in refrigerator overnight and reheat at 350�F for 30 minutes and heated through.

Serving Ideas : I like to serve with mashed potatoes and buttered peas.

NOTES : This recipe makes pretty large servings. Instead of the 4 patties, you can make 6 patties. Also good made with ground turkey or even half ground beef, half ground beef.
