Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 Onion (diced, plus another sliced for gravy)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Step-by-step instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper together.
- Form the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while preparing the gravy base.
- Brown the patties in an oven-safe skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden; remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions in butter. Add flour, stirring for about 2 minutes, then whisk in the beef broth and cream until smooth.
- Nestle the browned patties into the gravy. Cover the skillet tightly and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe tips & variations
Feel free to swap out the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter version. To add a bit of zing, you can mix some Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. For an extra cozy meal, serve it with mashed potatoes or a simple green salad on the side. If you’re aiming for extra flavor, consider adding some mushrooms to the gravy.
Storage & reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the patties in a covered pan over low heat until warmed through. The gravy will thicken in the fridge, so you may need to add a splash of beef broth to loosen it when reheating.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties and gravy a day ahead. Just cover and refrigerate, then bake when you’re ready.
Can I freeze Amish hamburger steak bake?
Certainly! Freeze the cooked patties and gravy in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
What can I serve this with?
Mashed potatoes and green beans go wonderfully, but any favorite sides will complement nicely.
