Ingredients
To make this Amish Hamburger Steak Bake, you’ll need:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
For the sauce:
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly greasing a baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into oval or round patties, similar to hamburger steaks.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sear the patties for about 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds extra flavor but doesn’t need to cook them fully.
Arrange the browned patties in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and sour cream until smooth. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the flour.
Pour the sauce evenly over the patties, making sure they are well covered.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and tender.
Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the top to slightly thicken and develop more flavor.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
