Description

Hawaiian loco moco is typically made with Spam, but this comforting version of an island favorite features ground chuck under a fried egg and gravy.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup water
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 (12 ounce) jar brown gravy (such as Heinz®)
4 eggs
4 cups cooked rice

Directions

1 Grease a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
2 Divide ground chuck into four equal portions; form into patties.
3 Fry patties in the hot skillet until they begin to firm, are hot, and are slightly pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove patties to a plate, retaining drippings in the skillet.
4 Stir onion and water into reserved drippings. Reduce heat to low and cook until onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
5 Pour gravy over onion-mushroom mixture; stir. Cook until gravy is hot, about 5 minutes. Gently lie patties into gravy; simmer until reheated through.
6 While patties simmer in gravy, grease a separate skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Fry eggs in the hot skillet until whites are opaque, but yolks remain runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
7 Divide cooked rice between four plates. Top each rice portion with a beef patty and cover each patty with an egg. Pour gravy equally over each portion.
