Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is a comforting, hearty casserole featuring seasoned ground beef patties smothered in a rich, creamy onion gravy. This classic homestyle dish combines juicy oval patties, browned to perfection and baked in a luscious beef broth and cream gravy, making it perfect for a satisfying family dinner.

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 ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until all ingredients are evenly incorporated without overworking the meat.
  2. Shape & Rest: Form the mixture into 6 to 8 oval-shaped patties. Set them aside and let rest briefly while you prepare the gravy base. This helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
  3. Brown Patties: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until nicely golden and caramelized. Remove the browned patties from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent and softened. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to make a smooth gravy. Season with garlic powder and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Bake Casserole: Nestle the browned patties gently into the prepared gravy within the skillet. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Afterward, remove the cover and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly and finish cooking the patties inside.
  6. Rest & Serve: Take the skillet out of the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, resulting in tender, flavorful patties smothered in rich gravy.

Notes

  • Use an 80/20 ground beef blend for optimal flavor and juiciness.
  • You can substitute beef broth with low sodium for better control of saltiness.
  • If you prefer, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter gravy, though it will be less rich.
  • Breadcrumbs can be plain or seasoned, depending on your preference.
  • Covering the casserole during most of the baking ensures the patties stay moist.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
