  • Hot Hamburger Plate Recipe
    This is a mashup of an easy Salisbury Steak with mushroom gravy and an open faced hamburger… This is a natural progression of an earlier German dish; throughout the old cookbooks in our collection there are variations of this basic dish, sometimes it’s referred to as meatballs even though it’s always a flattened patty, and may be descended from frikadelle. Now some people claim that this is hamburger steak Southern style or Southern style hamburger steak - but this Hamburger steak with onions and gravy has a long history right here in Canada. The Hot Hamburger Plate probably came here with German migration in the 1700s.
    Hamburger Steaks:
    Oil for frying
    500g (1 Lb) ground beef
    15 mL (1 Tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
    15 mL (1 Tbsp) garlic powder
    Salt and pepper to taste
    15 mL (1 Tbsp) onion powder (optional)
    1 egg
    Gravy:
    2 medium onions, sliced
    4 cups sliced mushrooms
    30 mL ( 2 Tbsp) butter
    30 mL ( 2 Tbsp) flour
    375 mL (1½ cups) beef broth
    Salt and pepper to taste
    15 mL (1 Tbsp) Marmite
    How to make Beurre Manié and use Beurre Manié 7:55
    Equal portions of flour and softened butter mashed together.
    Method:
    Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, and egg.
    Mix and then form into 4 patties.
    Heat some oil in a frying pan and brown the patties on both sides.
    Remove the patties to a plate, and add the onions to the pan.
    Fry the onions until golden brown, add the mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown as well.
    Melt the butter into the mushroom onions, and then stir in the flour.
    Stir in the broth, and Marmite, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
    Add the beef patties back to sauce, cover and simmer on low until the patties are cooked.

      I feel like something in this vein is popular everywhere you can find ground meat. In Japan, the hamburg steak is probably more popular than the hamburger as a sandwich. And the difference between one or the other is just the final vowel. A hambaagaa is a hamburger on a bun. A hambaagu is a hamburg steak, usually with a demiglace sauce.

    When the cook is that uncharacteristically excited about his own food, you know you have a winner. This is even better than usual for a Glen video, and that's saying something. We got places here in Dallas that are essentially the home grown food diner experiences Glen describes but their menu is too varied so they can't focus on getting one thing perfect. "Jack of all trades master of none." Simple elegant breakfast and lunch dishes like this. Maybe vary spices and sides a little bit but a "hot hamburger plate" is really all you need to open for business. You can't throw a stone in Dallas without hitting a tacqueria or a mama's diner, but just a good solid hot hamburger plate? THAT would stand out.

    In the American South we call that Hamburger Steak. It's generally served with mashed potatoes and green peas or carrots. Instead of loaf bread, it's served with biscuits or cornbread. Diners everywhere serve in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Everywhere else. It's filling comfort food that is delicious and nostalgic. We love Meatlof down here also with your standard mashed potatoes and Mac&Cheese.

    First time I tried a "hot hamburger" was back in the mid 80's at a small diner named Gail's Snack Bar on Eastern Ave.and Carlaw in Toronto. I loved it. I worked close by and used to have it for lunch at least twice a week. I don't remember ever ordering or seeing it on a menu since I left job a couple years later.

As a Pennsylvania native, we had “SOS” or chipped dried beef on toast with peas (different but similar ;) ) and Salisbury Steak, and now that I grew up in Houston, the south has Hamburger steak or smothered Chopped Steak. I guess everywhere you go, people need “meat and potatoes” kind of meals! Cheers!

My Mom took me at the end of every school year in public school, late June, in the late 1960's to early 1970's to get a hot hamburger lunch at the Nortown restaurant at Lawrence Plaza in Toronto. Sounds a lot like what you had at Kresge's lunch counter. Ours came with white bread open-faced, with peas, and mashed potatoes. It felt like I was in heaven! Oh the memories!!!! Hot days, and cold air-conditioning in the restaurant. My Mom made those days (and everything) so special for me. She has passed, and I miss her every day!! Thanks for the memories.

    Similarly to this, I will never forget my initial confusion when confronted with a "hot chicken sandwich". 1998, freshly arrived from Southern California, my future Mother-in-law took me out to lunch. Not sure what to order from the tiny diner in their village, I ordered what I thought would be a sandwich with a hot chicken patty. Imagine my surprise when I got an open faced, gravy laden, sliced chicken served on white bread platter with ubiquitous steamed veggies and fries. I was perplexed, but sated by the end of the meal. Thus I learned what "Hot" sandwiches were likely to mean in Canada. LOL This takes me back to the good ol' days.

    In case Glen and Jules (or anyone else) are still looking for places that have hot hamburger in downtown Toronto there are two old school diners that come to mind. The Avenue Open Kitchen near Queen West and Spadina and the Patrician Grill on King East near Sherbourne both have hot hamburger, along with its cousins, hot turkey and hot beef. The Patrician even does hot sausage!

    Back in the mid 70s (I was 12/13?) I spent Saturdays with my Opa who used the time to teaching me the basics of cooking. He had been a short order cook as a young man (maybe even in the military) and was a coffee taster later in life. He taught a bunch of easy to make but delicious dishes, all designed to instill the basics of food preparation. He would have called this Salisbury Steak and he made it with cheesy mashed potatoes (baked with skins on), or in summer he would make German potato salad (vinaigrette dressing and herbs instead of mayo) and always peas. I could smell the gravy in my mind as you were cooking this.
