Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups beef broth

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Make the hamburger patties:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Shape into 4–6 oval patties.

3. Brown the patties:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, just enough to get a nice crust. Transfer them to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. Make the gravy:

In the same skillet, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth.

5. Assemble the bake:

Pour the sour cream gravy over the patties in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and slightly golden.

7. Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or over rice.
