Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.

  3. Fold in ½ cup diced bell peppers, ½ cup bread crumbs, and 1 beaten egg, mixing gently to keep the patties tender. Form into donut-shaped patties.
  4. Place the patties in the hot skillet, cooking them for about 5 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Remove the browned patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to rest.
  6. In the same skillet, add 2 cups of water and the brown gravy mix, stirring well and simmering for about 5 minutes.
