# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs lean ground beef, 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1/2 yellow onion (finely diced), 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Form into 6-8 oval patties for your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with Creamy Gravy.
02 -
Arrange 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced) in an even layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup frozen peas and 1/2 cup frozen carrots over the potatoes.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the prepared hamburger patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, but not cooked through. This step adds depth of flavor to your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with Creamy Gravy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
04 -
Place the seared hamburger patties over the potato and vegetable layer in the baking dish. Pour 1 cup beef broth over everything. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
05 -
While the bake cooks, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup beef broth until smooth. Stir in 1/2 tsp dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes, for the perfect Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with Creamy Gravy.
06 -
After 25 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish. Pour the creamy gravy evenly over the hamburger steaks and potatoes. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the gravy is bubbly. Let rest briefly before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, caramelize a bit more diced onion in the skillet before searing the patties and add it to the gravy.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
03 -
Feel free to substitute sweet potatoes for Yukon Golds for a slightly different flavor profile. Any ground meat can be used if beef isn't preferred.
04 -
This hearty bake pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
