Form the mixture into hamburger-sized patties.

Heat bacon grease in a skillet and cook the patties until browned on both sides, then set aside.

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking until tender and caramelized.

Add olive oil if needed to prevent sticking, then sprinkle cornstarch over the vegetables and stir to combine.

Gradually add water to the skillet, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a gravy.

Return the patties to the skillet, cover with gravy, and transfer to a preheated oven at 350°F.

Cook in the oven to finish cooking the patties and meld the flavors.
