1 lb. hamburger
4 or 5 slices bread in pieces
Water
Flour
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown gravy or
Tomatoes or sliced onions or
Mushrooms and mushroom soup or
Sliced potatoes, carrots, onions and beef broth

Combine the hamburger, bread pieces, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add just enough water to make it real sticky. Form into patties. Coat the patties with flour which has been salted and peppered. Brown both sides in a skillet. Drain grease. Top with one of the sauces.

Put a lid on the skillet and cook over a low heat for about 30 minutes. If desired, browned patties may be put in a 2 quart baking dish, covered with sauce, covered and baked at 350 degrees for 30 or 40 minutes.
