Hamburger Steak with Mushroom and Onion Gravy and Bacon-wrapped Asparagus

This week's recipe is a quick, but yummy weeknight meal...and a bonus side dish. The best part, this comes together in just a few minutes and in one pan!

Hamburger Steak Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb. ground beef 
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. onion powder

Onion and Mushroom Gravy Ingredients:
1 medium onion, sliced
8 oz. sliced crimini (baby portabella) mushrooms or 2 cans of mushrooms
1 pkt. brown gravy mix
1 c. water

Bacon-wrapped Asparagus:
3 asparagus spears for each bundle, trimmed (2-3 bundles per person)
1 slice bacon for each bundle


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Combine all hamburger ingredients and form patties about 4 inches around and 1/2 inch thick (you should get 4-5 patties from this).
3. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over med-high heat.
4. Add the hamburger steaks and brown quickly. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. In the same pan, add your asparagus and cook the bacon through on all sides, turning to cook as needed.
6. Place the asparagus on a paper towel lined cookie sheet to absorb the grease, and place in the oven to finish cooking and hold while you make your gravy.
7. Add the sliced onion to the same pan and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms, brown gravy mix, and water. Turn pan down to medium low.
8. Add the hamburger steaks into the gravy and simmer until cooked through and gravy has thickened.
