1 large egg 🥚

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝘆:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the hamburger steaks: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef 🍖, breadcrumbs 🌾, egg 🥚, finely chopped onion 🧅, garlic powder 🧄, salt 🧂, and pepper 🧂. Mix until just combined, then form the mixture into 4-6 patties.
3. Brown the steaks: In a skillet over medium heat, sear the hamburger patties on both sides for about 3-4 minutes each, until browned but not fully cooked. Transfer the browned patties to the prepared baking dish.
4. Make the onion gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter 🧈. Add the sliced onion 🧅 and mushrooms 🍄 (if using) and cook until softened and golden. Sprinkle in the flour 🌾 and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the beef broth 🍲 and Worcestershire sauce 🌿, cooking until the gravy thickens. Season with salt 🧂 and pepper 🧂.
5. Bake the dish: Pour the onion gravy over the hamburger steaks in the baking dish, making sure they are covered with the gravy. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the steaks are fully cooked and tender.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve the Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy this comforting, savory dish! 🍽️
