I am starting to think this might be one of those regional things.

Calling it a "hamburger steak" is indeed regional.

But that would be a hamburger patty.

What you made wasn't "steak" no matter what you decide to call it.

Not according to the recipes I have seen.

Julie is trying to be "creative" but she's not good at it. It's no
surprise to me she can't come up with things her family wants to eat.

What? Hamburger Steak is hardly creative. If I want to be creative I will
make a composed salad or decorate a cake! Hamburger steak is not something
I grew up eating but I do enjoy it on occasion at a restaurant. I had
ground beef to use up and was looking at ground beef recipes. This sounded
good. And aside from the slightly off taste, it was. The gravy is
excellent.

It's a shame her patties fell apart. I wonder what she will do about it.

I will try them without the bread crumbs the next time. I don't normally
put crumbs in my meat unless making meatloaf but most of the recipes seemed
to call for them which is why I used them.
