Ingredients
- For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- ¾ cup crushed saltine crackers (or breadcrumbs)
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- For the Gravy:
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
-
Prepare Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed crackers, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
-
Shape & Brown: Form into oval patties and lightly dust each with flour. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown patties on both sides—just until golden (not fully cooked).
-
Assemble Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place browned patties in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Make Gravy: In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Pour evenly over the patties.
-
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until bubbling and fully cooked.
-
Serve: Let rest for a few minutes, then serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
-
Add sliced mushrooms or onions for extra flavor.
-
Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top in the last few minutes for a cheesy twist.
-
Use cream of chicken soup for a lighter flavor.
-
Add thin potato slices under patties to make it a one-dish meal.
-
Don’t skip browning the patties—it adds rich flavor and texture.
