How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delicious dish:

1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
2. Form the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while you prepare the gravy base.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, brown the patties over medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the sliced onions until they are soft and translucent. Add the flour and stir for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
5. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
6. Nestle the browned patties back into the gravy, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the skillet tightly and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake turns out perfectly:

• For extra flavor, consider adding some Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
• If you prefer a bit of spice, a dash of cayenne pepper can add a nice kick!
• Feel free to substitute ground pork for half of the ground beef for a different flavor profile. This is a great way to explore hamburger and ground pork recipes!
• Make sure to let the dish rest after baking; this helps the gravy thicken and makes serving easier.

How to Serve

This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is delicious on its own, but I love serving it with:

• Mashed potatoes or creamy garlic pasta for a comforting side.
• Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the meal.
• Crusty bread to soak up that delicious gravy!

These weeknight dinner ideas will surely please everyone at the table!

Make Ahead and Storage

This dish is perfect for meal prep! You can prepare the patties and gravy ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat in the oven before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cooked patties in the gravy for up to 3 months. Just thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy!
