Instructions
Hamburger patties and gravy
- Add all ingredients for the hamburgers to a large bowl. Blend it using a wooden spoon or your clean hands. Don't over mix since that can make your patties tough. Use wet hands to form eight oblong patties.
- Add butter and olive oil to a large frying pan. Fry over medium-high heat for at least 10 minutes or until the patties have turned a nice color. Flip them a few times for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste and cream. Add this mixture to the pan when the patties are almost done. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.
Butter-fried green cabbage
- Shred the cabbage finely using a food processor or sharp knife.
- Add butter to a large frying pan.
- Place the pan over medium high heat and sauté the shredded cabbage for at least 15 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted and golden brown around the edges.
- Stir regularly and lower the heat a little towards the end. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Sure, just be aware that red cabbage has more carbs than green cabbage.
You may have better results if you freeze them while raw. If cooked and frozen, they may be dried out when thawed and heated.
I am sorry for the confusion. There is a notation after the butter and oil in the ingredient list that they are for frying.
1 tbsp olive oil, for frying
2 tbsp butter, for frying
Awesome! So glad you both enjoyed it!
I don't know if I am just overlooking it but what is the serving size. I can't seem to find it on any recipe.
Thank you
Serving size for this one is about 6 oz of hamburgers. For each recipe, you can visually divide your finished product by the number of servings your recipe is set.
That is outstanding!! Way to go!!
You can choose from any of our sauce/dressing recipes!

Sounds great! So glad you enjoyed it!
There are 2 ways around this! You can omit the egg if you're making one serving or you can make 4 servings which will use one whole egg. You can freeze the patties before cooking and they will freeze and thaw well! While the ability to scale recipes to make fewer or more servings is very helpful, it can result in some non-standard measurement amounts.
85/15 is a good choice for this dish. You can see the technique used in the included video.
You should not need to drain the grease as it includes the butter, olive oil, and fat from the meat.
Awesome! So glad to hear that!
Sounds great! Just keep in mind that adding those ingredients would increase the carb count.
Thank you for the awesome tip, Tammy! I have a family of 5 to cook for, but I always cook with leftovers in mind. This will be helpful!
