Here is the recipe for Amish Hamburger Steak Bake:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1½ cups crushed buttery crackers or saltine crackers
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 2 cans (10.75 oz each) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks
- Combine ground beef, crumbled crackers, milk, Italian seasonings, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper in a large mixing basin.
- Till all the ingredients are just blended, gently stir. To guarantee soft patties, steer clear of overmixing.
- Form the mixture into eight to ten oval, roughly ¾-inch thick patties.
2. Sear the Patties
- Dust each burger just lightly with flour on both sides.
- In a large pan set a drizzle of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear each side of the patties for two to three minutes until golden. At this point, they do not have to be perfectly cooked.
3. Assemble the Casserole
- Set your oven for 350°F (175°C).
- Set the seared patties in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Whisk the cream of the mushroom soup and milk until smooth in another bowl. Add chopped parsley if desired.
- In the baking dish, equally cover the patties with the mushroom gravy.
4. Bake
- Wrap aluminium foil over the baking dish.
- Bake until the sauce bubbles and the patties are cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove the foil during the final five minutes of baking for a richer gravy.
Serving Suggestions
- Present the Amish hamburger steak bake over:
- Buttering mashed potatoes

Variations and Advice
- For a cheesy crust, scatter shredded cheddar cheese over the dish during the last ten minutes of baking.

- To make this meal gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers and flour.
- Assemble the casserole ahead of time and chill until just ready for baking.
