Smothered Hamburger Steak
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a casserole dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, egg, pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Shape the beef mixture into individual hamburger steaks (around 4), approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Place the hamburger steaks in the greased casserole dish.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
6. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the hamburger steaks in the casserole dish. Next, layer the cooked mushrooms on top of the onions.
