This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake offers a comforting and hearty meal featuring tender beef patties smothered in a rich onion and cream gravy. Ground beef patties are first browned and then baked in a luscious homemade gravy, creating a satisfying casserole perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties

  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
  • 1 Egg (Beaten)
  • 1 Onion (Finely diced)
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper

For the Gravy

  • 3 tbsp Butter (Salted or unsalted)
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening gravy)
  • 2 cups Beef broth (Low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Onion (Sliced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix carefully to evenly distribute the ingredients without overworking the meat.
  2. Shape & Rest: Form the mixture into 6 to 8 oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking. Set aside while you prepare the gravy base to allow flavors to meld slightly.
  3. Brown Patties: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties on each side for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Once browned, remove them from the skillet and set aside temporarily.
  4. Make Gravy: Using the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the sliced onions until they become translucent and fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth followed by the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Add garlic powder and continue cooking the gravy until it thickens slightly.
  5. Bake Casserole: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy onion gravy. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. After this time, remove the cover and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the gravy and finish cooking the patties.
  6. Rest & Serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes. This resting period lets the flavors meld and ensures a juicy texture. Serve warm for a comforting meal experience.

Notes

  • Using 80/20 ground beef ensures the patties stay juicy and flavorful.
  • Breadcrumbs can be seasoned or plain depending on your preference.
  • Be sure to use an oven-safe skillet for the baking step to avoid transferring the patties and gravy.
  • You can adjust the seasoning in the gravy by adding herbs like thyme or parsley if desired.
  • Resting after baking is essential for juicy, tender patties.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or buttered noodles.
