Ingredients

Hamburger Steak Patties

1 lbs ground beef

¾ cup breadcrumbs

¾ cups milk

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

dash of cayenne

flour to dredge

Gravy

• 1 can condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

• 1 can Cream of Bacon Soup

• 1 can milk (use soup can)

• 1 can water (use soup can)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Egg noodles about ¼ package uncooked

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 9×13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Gravy: In a medium size bowl add the cans of soup, milk, water, parsley and mix well – set aside.

Slice some onion to use as a bed in the pan.

Hamburger Steak Patties: In a large bowl, using your hands, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper until well blended. Gently form 4 to 6 (don’t press too hard), making them all equal size.

Next, lightly dredge (coat) in flour and fry in a skillet with high sides on medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides – inside will still be uncooked.

Place patties in baking pan.

When the patties are browned to your liking and placed into the pan at equal distances, Toss the uncooked pasta into the bowl of soup mixes.

 

  Make sure all the pieces are well coated. This will let them cook in the steam of the pan and not turn crunchy.

Pack the noodles around the meat. Spread evenly over patties.

Spray a piece of foil and lay sprayed side down on the pan and seal.

Bake covered with foil on middle rack of oven for 1 hour or until the steak patties are well done, reaching an internal minimum temperature of 160 degrees f.

Serve with favorite veggies and salad. Be sure to mix the gravy with the noodles. Enjoy!

This makes a great covered dish if fixing more than 6 burgers.

=======================================

The Metropolitan Community Church

For several hundred years the official church of western culture condemned homosexuality. Many of its followers actively persecuted any LGBTs they could find. Often they were hunted down like animals in the streets, beaten, jailed, and often subjected to inhumane “therapies” in efforts to “Cure” them. Many young LGBT's were told that the all loving God hated them. For decades they found themselves blocked from worshiping and blocked from the faithful supporting community they believed the church to be.

In 1968, a year before New York’s Stonewall Riots, a series of most unlikely events in Southern California resulted in the birth of the world’s first church group with a primary, positive ministry to gays, lesbians, bisexual, and transgender persons.

Those events, a failed relationship, an attempted suicide, a reconnection with God, and the birth of a dream led to MCC’s first worship service: a gathering of 12 people in Rev. Troy Perry’s living room in Huntington Park, California on October 6, 1968.

That first worship service in a Los Angeles suburb in 1968 launched the international movement of Metropolitan Community Churches, which today has grown to 43,000 members and adherents in almost 300 congregations in 22 countries.

In the early 1960s, Rev. Perry was defrocked as a clergyperson by a Pentecostal denomination because of his homosexuality. He spent the next several years struggling to reconcile his sexuality and his Christian spirituality.

On that fateful Sunday morning of the first service, Rev Perry outlined his goals:

The church was organized to serve the religious, spiritual and social needs of the homosexual community of greater Los Angeles, but soon could be expected to grow to reach homosexuals wherever they might be. He made it clear that this was not a gay church — it was a Christian church. It would be a general Protestant church to be all-inclusive.

That first week there were 12, the next week 14, then 22. The church continued to grow.

I'll never forget reading Rev Troy Perry's book: “The Lord is my Shepard and He knows I'm Gay”. When I got the chance to meet this man, I remember looking up in his face and he told me: God loves you, and so do I!

Nothing could stop this Metropolitan Community Church. The felt the thrill of discovery, and the occasional clumsiness of growing pains. They knew that they stood on the threshold of great things. God was leading them, and God was moving.

People came out of the shadows, out of the closets, out of the half-world. They were drawn to the Metropolitan Community Church. It was an item in the gay world. It was at first, ignored in the straight world.

But not everyone in the straight world pretended the MCC was not there. Sociologists, professional people, teachers, professors, psychologists and the enlightened came. They made a great and lasting contribution.

MCC church provided a feeling of freedom to worship, to walk with God. It excluded no one. -- welcomed everyone. Heterosexuals came to the first services. They do today. At least 20% of our congregation is heterosexual. Their involvement is as great as anyone’s.

And they’ve never stopped growing, not since that first service. God has the MCC. Today there are almost 300 MCC congregations in 22 countries around the world. More than 43,000 people consider themselves members or adherents of Metropolitan Community churches — and MCC has touched he lives of hundreds of thousands of people over the past 36 years.

There’s an old saying that goes,
“The future is as bright as the promises of God.”
