Loco Mocos

Been on quite a hiatus with the traveling, spring break and birthday festivities, its been a busy month. But since being back from Hawaii from my best friend's wedding, I have been having major island withdrawals. So I made this dish, which is actually one of my favorite Hawaiian dishes, the Loco Moco.



I forgot to take a pic of me adding even more gravy on top. Hmmmm....gravy. The gravy really makes the dish. But you could use your imagination. Hope you all enjoy this dish as much as I do!

Loco Moco

Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 a medium onion finely diced
2-3 cloves of garlic minced (I personally love a lot of garlic)
2 tbspn of heavy cream or milk
1/2 tspn kosher salt
1/4 tspn ground pepper
2 tbspn of butter
1 beef bouillon cube (I use the Knorr brand)
1 cup of boiling water
2 Tbspn of flour

Directions:

1) Mix ground beef, finely diced onion, minced garlic, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a bowl thoroughly with your hands. Form 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into patties.

2) Heat the 2 tbspn of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties to desired preference. Cook for 4 min on 1 side before flipping over the first time. Take the done patties and place on a place for the time being.

3) Mix 1 cup of boiling water with 1 beef bouillon cube in a separate cup or bowl.(1 cup of beef stock can be substituted for this) Then add this mixture into the same skillet patties were cooked in. (Do not drain the leftover oil from the patties in the skillet.) Add the 2 tbspn of flour. (May have to add more depending on desired thickness of gravy) Bring to a boil and then turn off heat.

4) Add back cooked patties into the skillet and mix with the gravy.

5) Serve over white rice and top with an egg and enjoy! :)
