Amish Hamburger Steak BakeServings: 4-6 servings
Ingredients1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
DirectionsPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned patties to a baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the patties in the baking dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve hot with your choice of sides.
Variations & TipsFor a bit of a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. If you're not a fan of mushroom soup, you can substitute with cream of chicken or cream of celery soup. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ensure your soup is gluten-free as well. To sneak in some veggies, finely grate a carrot or zucchini into the beef mixture. This is a great way to add nutrition without altering the flavor too much.
