German Meat Patties

For the meat patties, mix all ingredients except bread crumbs together and form into 4 balls. Place bread crumbs into a shallow dish and roll balls into crumbs and form into patties. Heat oil in a skillet on medium high. Place patties in skillet and brown both sides. Cover, reduce heat and cook patties for 20 minutes or until no longer pink inside. You can serve them just like this with potatoes and veggies as sides.

For the gravy (optional):
Remove patties from skillet. Add enough oil to so that there is 2 tablespoons oil in skillet. Add onions and cook until soft, 2–3 minutes. Add flour and whisk. Cook for 1 minute. This makes your roux for the gravy.

Add beef broth to the skillet and whisk until thickened. Put beef patties into gravy and serve.
