black iron skillet, add oil; brown hamburger patties on both sides,

place on paper towels to drain.

Using the oil in the pan, make a thick brown gravy with flour and water, add salt and pepper to taste. Add jar of Boston Market Brown Gravy, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chopped onion and green pepper, stir well and simmer for approximately 15 minutes.

Return hamburgers to sauce, cover and cook on low heat for approximately 1 hour, stirring frequently.

Make Minute Rice for the appropriate number of servings.

Place one hamburger on each serving of rice, cover with sauce mixture.
