π©π³ How to Make It
1️⃣ Make the Hamburger Steaks
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley.
Mix gently until everything is just combined.
Form the mixture into several oval-shaped patties.
2️⃣ Brown the Patties
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Brown the hamburger steaks for a few minutes on each side.
You don't need to cook them completely through at this stage—the oven will finish the job.
3️⃣ Add Those Sweet Onions π§
Remove the patties and add the sliced onions to the same skillet.
Cook until they begin to soften and turn lightly golden.
That little bit of browning adds so much flavor to the finished dish!
4️⃣ Make the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, pepper, and optional beef broth.
Pour some of the gravy into a baking dish, arrange the hamburger steaks over it, then spoon the onions around and over the top.
Pour the remaining gravy over everything.
5️⃣ Bake Until Tender
Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 35–45 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is bubbling.
Remove the foil during the last few minutes if you want a little extra browning on top.
π₯ The Perfect Way to Serve It
This is practically begging to be served over creamy mashed potatoes. π€€
Spoon that rich onion gravy over the potatoes, add a hamburger steak on top, and you’ve got the kind of dinner that feels like a warm hug.
You could also serve it with:
π₯ Glazed carrots
π½ Buttered corn
π₯¦ Steamed broccoli
π₯ Warm dinner rolls
π« Green beans
✨ A Little Extra Comfort
Want even more flavor?
Try adding a spoonful of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy, or stir a little shredded cheddar into the hamburger mixture.
And if you have leftovers, don't be surprised if they taste even better the next day after all those savory flavors have had time to mingle. π
