Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is classic comfort food at its best. Juicy hamburger patties are baked low and slow in a rich, creamy onion gravy, creating a hearty, old-fashioned dinner that feels like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and perfect served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
1 cup heavy cream
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Set aside.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened.
Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream until smooth. Add garlic powder.
Nestle the browned patties back into the gravy.
Cover tightly and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the gravy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Use 80/20 ground beef for the juiciest hamburger steaks.
Don’t overmix the meat, or the patties may become dense.
Brown first, bake later—this adds flavor and helps the patties hold together.
If the gravy thickens too much, stir in a splash of warm beef broth before serving.
This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed green beans.
