Amish Hamburger Steak Bake
Amish Hamburger Steak Bake
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs ground beef
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups milk, divided
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4-5 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions: Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Make the Hamburger Patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 6 equal-sized patties.
Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the patties on both sides. They don’t need to be fully cooked—just enough to get a nice crust. Set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, whisk together 1 cup milk and the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk. Cook until thickened, seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Assemble the Bake:
Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish.
Add half of the onion slices.
Place the browned hamburger patties on top.
Layer the remaining potatoes and onions over the patties. Bake: Pour the prepared gravy evenly over everything. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Add Cheese & Finish Baking: Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy! Let the bake cool slightly before serving. This hearty, comforting dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad!
