Ingredients & Their Purpose
To make this Amish-inspired bake, you’ll need:
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend) – The star of the dish. Using beef with a little fat ensures juicy, tender hamburger steaks.
1 medium onion, finely chopped – Adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced – Brings a warm, aromatic kick.
1 cup breadcrumbs – Helps bind the patties while keeping them moist.
2 large eggs – Essential for binding the mixture together.
1 tsp salt & ½ tsp black pepper – Simple seasoning that enhances every bite.
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce – Provides a subtle smoky, savory richness.
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup – The creamy base for the gravy.
1 cup beef broth – Thins out the soup for a perfect, pourable gravy.
1 tbsp butter – Adds richness to the gravy and a silky finish.
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) – Boosts the earthy, hearty flavor.
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) – A touch of Amish-inspired cheesiness on top.
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) – Brightens the final dish with color and freshness.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently until just combined (over-mixing can make the patties tough).
Form into 6–8 evenly sized patties.
2. Brown the Patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Sear each patty for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked through.
Transfer patties to a greased 9×13 baking dish.
