Amish Hamburger Steak Bake (Print-Friendly Recipe)

Ground beef patties baked with onions and rich creamy gravy for a hearty Amish-inspired comfort dinner.

# Ingredients List:

→ Hamburger Steaks

01 - 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 - 1/2 cup plain or seasoned breadcrumbs
03 - 1 large egg, beaten
04 - 1 medium onion, finely diced
05 - 2 teaspoons salt
06 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Creamy Gravy

07 - 3 tablespoons butter
08 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
09 - 2 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
10 - 1 cup heavy cream
11 - 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
12 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently to incorporate.
02 - Form the mixture into 6 to 8 oval patties of even size. Set aside while preparing the gravy base.
03 - In an oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat, sear patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer the browned steaks to a plate.
04 - In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced onion until softened. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until lightly golden.
05 - Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir in garlic powder and simmer until the gravy thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Arrange browned patties in the gravy. Cover tightly and bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and steaks are fully cooked.
07 - Remove from oven and allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving to ensure juices are redistributed.

# Extra Information:

01 - For optimal results, use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F.
