Loose meat burgers like those served at Mugs Up Drive-In
Cook ground beef with water, minced onion and onion powder covered over low heat about 30 minutes. Stir and break up meat to fine consistency. Uncover and continue to cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove fat from top. (I usually rinse it or Pat it off with thick Viva paper towels). Add gravy mix, salt & pepper, and cook until mixture is a smooth consistency. Spoon meat mixture onto buns and add a slice of cheese or Cheez Whiz if desired. The original is served with two pickle slices, chopped onion and mustard/ketchup, with Cheez Whiz on the Whiz burgers.
I found a few different versions of the recipe on Topix.com. None of them looked just right, so I combined them and tweaked. I had to make a second batch.
