Pretend Swiss Steak

I don't know why it's called this but our mom used to make it growing up

1 lb ground beef
1/2 c. flour
2 c. water
2 beef bouillon cubes
salt and pepper

Thaw out hamburger and salt and pepper. Divide into 4 patties. Coat with flour and brown on both sides. (I use oil in an electric skillet) Boil water and add cubes. Pour over meat. Simmer 15 minutes or until cooked. Take patties out and add flour to juice to thinken for gravy. Add patties back in and heat through. Serve with mashed potatoes.
