Oktoberfest Patties

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 tsp. caraway seed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 c. plain bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 (12 oz.) jar beef gravy
1/2 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, caraway seed, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well and form into 6 equal-sized patties.

Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish and coat the patties evenly.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and no pink remains. Remove to a platter and cover to keep warm.

Place the gravy and mushrooms in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to soften. Spoon over the patties and serve immediately.
