3. Shape the mixture into six thick, oval-shaped patties.

How to Serve It

Serve this over a big pile of mashed potatoes. The gravy is too good to waste. You can also use wide egg noodles. Add some steamed green beans for a fresh crunch. This is pure comfort on a plate for your family.

Leftovers & Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to three days. You can reheat them easily in the microwave. For best results, use the oven at 350 degrees. This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake tastes even better the next day. The flavors have more time to meld together.

Make It Even Better (Pro Tips)

• Use lean ground beef to avoid a greasy gravy.
• Do not overwork the meat when forming your patties.
• Sear the patties until they have a dark, brown crust.
• Slice your onions very thin for the best texture.
• Cover the dish tightly to keep the meat very moist.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect cooking results.
• Let the dish rest for five minutes before serving.
• Add a dash of paprika for a bit of color.

Easy Ways to Change It Up

• Add sliced fresh mushrooms for extra earthy flavor.
• Use ground turkey for a lighter, healthy meal option.
• Try a low-sodium mushroom soup to control the salt.
• Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy.

Quick Questions

Can I freeze this casserole?

Yes, you can freeze it for up to two months. Thaw it in the fridge before reheating in the oven. It still tastes great after being frozen.

What kind of beef is best?

I recommend using 90/10 lean ground beef for this. It provides plenty of flavor without making the dish greasy. If you use 80/20, drain the fat after searing.

This recipe is a guaranteed winner for your dinner rotation. Give it a try this week and feel the comfort. You will not regret making this hearty meal.
