Notes

Storage, Freezing and Reheating

Storage. I recommend storing the hamburger steaks separate from the gravy, only because the gravy will need a little more attention when it’s reheated. You can wrap the steaks individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Likewise, the gravy should also be stored in an airtight container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator withing two hours and consume within five days.

Freezing. The cooked hamburger patties can be frozen for later use. However, I do not recommend trying to freeze the gravy. Freezing will cause the gravy to separate and change the texture of the mushrooms.

Reheating. The hamburger patties can be reheated for 1-2 minutes in the microwave. You can also reheat them in the oven at 250 degrees for 20-30 minutes until they are heated through. Place the gravy in a saucepan and heat over medium low heat. Stir in ¼ - ½ cup of additional beef broth until the gravy is smooth and reaches your desired consistency.
