Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or more if needed
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Divide the meat into 4 pieces, and flatten into thin beef patties. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat until almost smoking, and cook the beef patties until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side; set the cooked burgers aside. Drain excess grease but leave any browned drippings in the skillet.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour with salt and black pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, mixing in a half teaspoon of water if needed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of cooked burgers into the eggs, then dredge in the seasoned flour; repeat 3 times to build up a thick coating on the burgers. Place the burgers into the hot oil, and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set burgers aside.
- Spoon away any excess vegetable oil. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat, and stir to loosen any brown flavor bits left in the bottom of the skillet. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth. If you prefer a very thick gravy, use more flour. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the gravy is thick. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and serve the gravy over the chicken-fried beef patties.

The flyer at my local Moose Lodge was that if the Ground Hog predicted 6 more weeks of winter, I was going to make Chicken Fried Ground Hog for the next Saturday family meal. He made the wrong prediction in my opinion. I added some Chicken Fried Yak for those that weren’t keen on rodent. (Yak is a breed of cattle, just like Aberdeen Angus) I also made mashed potatos and gravy using a roux from the ground pork. Ground Hog, ground pig, ground pork. By any other name, its still delicious! The Yak was 93% lean beef to try and fool some people that it wasn’t beef. It worked. Made a total of 20 meals, sold 19 and ate the last one myself. Good recipe. I liked not have to actually buy pork chops (or butcher a bunch of prairie dogs). PS: The first day of Spring is March 20th. Six weeks and four days after Ground Hog Day.
You definitely do not need 1 cup of flour and 4 eggs, half the ingredients for the frying part.
The gravy wasn’t spectacular, but the meat itself was decent. The hamburger patties I used probably needed to be pounded slightly thinner. I’ll probably try again another time but with a few of my own alterations.
Been making this for years. I like to add a couple pinches of white pepper to the gravy and sauteed onions…
Very crispy and crunchy. I added a bit more salt and pepper. I also added a tad of onion powder and garlic powder.
Loved, loved, loved this recipe!! A huge hit with my family. Followed exactly just added a few extra spices such as garlic powder. Even my super picky child liked it! Never made before but hit the jackpot with this one!!! Thank you!!!
I have made this several times. I use garlic salt and add onions to hamburger meat. I also use cream of mushroom soup for a gravy, also used white sauce and country gravy.
My son loved it and asked for seconds.
Brilliant idea to use ground beef. So much easier, cheaper, tastes just as good. Did flour, egg, then flour again. Refrigerated covered an hour or so before frying to avoid the frustration of loose coating. Great!
i used 1/3 lb angus beef patties. I did not precook the patties. I added generous amounts of seasoned salt, garlic powder, plus cayenne and pepper to the flour mixture. I cooked in 1/2 inch canola oil at medium high heat. We loved it. I will definitely make again.
this was horable, the meat fell apart couldn’t even dip it with out it crumbling
While it was easy to make, it smelled better than it tasted and I used a lot of salt and pepper. Even after fully cleaning up and emptying the trash it just stunk up the house for the next day and a half. I wouldn’t make this again. Maybe others have better luck and would enjoy it more.
My husband loved it!
Oh boy! Can’t wait to have this again! My husband and I loved it! The only change I made was to use 100% wholewheat flour, otherwise, followed it to a T! Heavenly and satisfying! Fantastic recipe, and so thrilled to have this in our regular rotation now! Thank you so much, Cookie Moster!
The only thing I changed was my cook times… it was so very close to the original in flavor that ,I will make this again and again
This was very good! Usually I do all the cooking, but my hubby made this one for me! He had trouble w/ the breading falling off, but I don’t think he dipped the meat in the flour b4 dipping it in the egg. Still tho, so very simple & so yummy. He also added kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder & a little cayenne upon my request (: Seasonings are definitely your friends here!
I used a cast iron skillet which made the crust perfect. Next time I won’t make the patties so thick. Nice recipe
This sure does help with my budget and it is really good. The only problem I had was that I got flour all over the kitchen, which was my fault. I also followed the advice to dip the patties in the egg before putting the coated steaks on to fry so that the flour would stay on better.
This was fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing and helping make dinner last night!
Delicious! We have burned out a bit on deer hamburger and this is a definite way to use it!
The kids loved it and even asked for seconds! I used ground chicken instead of hamburger and dredged in whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. I also made the gravy with lowfat milk!! I used 2 lbs of ground chicken made them into patties seasoned them with a variety of spices and pan fried them. Then cooled them, dredged them and back in the pan. I will definitely make this one again!!
