Hamburger Steak and Gravy

My mother bought too many frozen hamburgers, so I looked for a yummy recipe, to use them up, without grilling and needing burger buns.  This recipe worked well!  I made mine with a veggie burger and vegetable broth. I did not make the fresh burgers.  I just followed the gravy and cooking part, of the recipe.  

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
