Smothered Hamburger Patties

This recipe i got from my ward cook book. I LOVE ward cookbooks from any ones ward. I also just love any cookbook period!
This is just a yummy classic dish! If you like meat and potatoes you are sure to love this dish. So super easy and just YUM!

2 lbs. Hamburger
2 tbls. shortening
1/3 c. flour
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg brown gravy mix (when i don't have the gravy mix i use 3 bullion cubes)
1 can of water

Make hamburger into patties. Heat pan and put shortening in. Make your hamburger into patties. Coat in flour then place in pan, brown on both sides. Place in 9x 13 pan.
While patties are browning put cream of mushroom soup,brown gravy and water in a soup pan on stove and mix and warm together. Pour over patties. Cover with tinfoil then bake '350 for 1 hour. Serve with potatoes, rice,noodles or whatever. Now i have to admit i do not always warn the soup mixture together. I will just put ingredients in a bowl, mix then pour over patties. However by heating it, it looks more smooth and well i guess prettier :) either way its a definite go to dinner for my family!
