Get: 0.5c rice, dry 1 sweet onion 0.75lb ground beef or pork 0.5lb crimini mushrooms, sliced 3 eggs minced green onion to garnish salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder thyme for eggs Do: Make the rice per instructions, and chill for at least 1 hour Stir rice in with one beaten egg. Form into somewhat thin patties, place on plate, and chill for 30 minutes Mix pork or turkey with minced onion and spices in bowl, form into patties. Put a dimple in the middle! Set aside. Make Mushroom Gravy Fry the rice patties in neutral oil at 350F, at least 3 minutes per side on medium high, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Fry the meat patties to temperature, roughly 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Fry eggs in butter while the meat is going, or in the same pan. Season with thyme, salt, pepper. Cook the top by pouring a shot glass of water onto the top and letting it boil to cook. Top with gravy and serve Results: Gravy was great. Egg was fine.  I did a turkey patty with olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne, chili flakes, and a bit of herb. good! Pork patty was kind of bland, I actually do not love the flavor of ground pork by itself. Needs something more, like sausage flavoring? Put mustard in it next time? Thinner patties means more golden crunch! No need to make them huge. Canola oil works, peanut oil did not work. It was definitely spoiled oil that one time.
