Hamburger Steak with Mushroom Onion Gravy

Tonight was one of those nights when I wasn't really sure what to cook for dinner.  So I decided to cook a favorite that my mom used to make, Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy.  My daughter loves mushrooms so I figured I would add a few mushrooms to the mix to give it a little flair.  I knew it would go great with my Vermicelli Rice or Sehriyeli Pilav.  Boy was I right, it was a match made in heaven.  Hope you enjoy! Afiyet olsun!
