Hamburger Steak Bake with an Amish Twist — 6 servings
Ground beef, 1 1/2 pounds, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder are the ingredients.
half a teaspoon of powdered onion
– Season with salt and pepper to taste. – Divide 2 cups of milk.
– 1/4 cup of refined flour
– 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese – 4 to 5 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced – 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
What to do
Before you begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
The second step is to season the ground beef in a big bowl with pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Combine the ingredients and shape into six patties.
3. Brown the patties on all sides in a pan over medium heat; put aside. At this stage, they are not required to be entirely cooked.
4. In the same pan, combine the flour and 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth. With constant stirring, gradually add the remaining milk and cook until a gravy is formed. If you think it needs more salt and pepper, add some more.
5. Layer half of the sliced onions on top of the half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
6. Top with the browned hamburger patties and some of the leftover onions and potatoes.
7. Evenly distribute the gravy that has been made over the whole dish.
8. Bake for 1 hour with the foil cover on.
9. Bake uncovered for another 15 minutes or until the shredded cheddar cheese is melted and bubbling, after which you may remove the foil.
Tips & Variations—Add a pinch of spicy sauce or paprika to the ground beef mixture for a little heat.
– Cut back on the onion quantity or leave them out completely if you have finicky eaters in your household who aren’t fond of them.
– Make sure the potatoes are sliced uniformly so they cook evenly. Now is the perfect opportunity to whip out your mandoline slicer!
– Substitute ground turkey with low-fat milk and cheese for a somewhat healthier alternative.
– If you happen to have any leftovers, don’t worry—they taste even better the next day.
