Ingredients
  

For the Hamburger Patties
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Use 80/20 for a balance of flavor and moisture.
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion Add flavor; substitute with shallots or green onions if preferred.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Enhances overall taste; fresh garlic is preferable for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Helps bind patties; Panko adds crunch or use gluten-free options if needed.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binding agent; applesauce works as a substitute for egg-free cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Adds depth of flavor; soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors; adjust according to personal preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper For seasoning; white pepper can be used for a milder taste.
For the Gravy
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Forms the gravy base; chicken broth is a viable alternative for lighter flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Flour Used for thickening the gravy; cornstarch can easily replace it for gluten-free options.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Adds richness; cheddar or mozzarella are great choices, or omit for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas or Corn Added for nutrition and color; fresh vegetables can also be substituted.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined. Shape into patties.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of cooking oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, then remove them and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle in flour while whisking continuously to avoid lumps and cook until the gravy reaches your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large baking dish, arrange the cooked hamburger patties in a single layer and pour gravy over the tops. Add optional toppings if desired.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes. Uncover for the last 5-10 minutes if using cheese.
  6. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
