In a large bowl combine:
-
ground beef
-
chopped onion
-
egg
-
breadcrumbs
-
salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
-
Worcestershire
Mix gently until combined.
2. Shape patties
Form into 6–8 thick oval patties (like hamburger steaks).
Place them into a greased 9×13 baking dish in a single layer.
3. Make the gravy
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
cream of mushroom soup

milk/half-and-half

onion soup mix OR bouillon
-
pepper
Pour evenly over the patties.
(Add mushrooms/onions if using.)
4. Bake
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until bubbling, browned, and cooked through.
5. Serve
Serve the patties with plenty of gravy spooned over top.
Great with:
-
mashed potatoes
-
buttered egg noodles
-
Amish-style buttered corn
-
green beans
⭐ Tips & Variations
-
Stretch the meal: Add sliced potatoes around the edges of the dish so they cook in the gravy.
-
Richer gravy: Add ¼ cup sour cream to the soup mixture.
-
Beefier version: Sear patties in a skillet first for deeper flavor.
-
Mushroom lovers: Use cream of mushroom + cream of onion soup combo.
If you want, I can also give you a slow cooker version, a smothered onion version, or an old-fashioned Amish skillet version!
