How to Make Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 6 patties.

  3. Brown the patties in a skillet over medium heat, cooking just until both sides are browned (they’ll finish cooking in the oven). Set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, whisk together 1 cup milk and flour until smooth. Slowly add the remaining milk, whisking until a thick gravy forms. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, followed by half of the onions.

  6. Place the hamburger patties on top.

  7. Add the remaining potatoes and onions.

  8. Pour the gravy evenly over the entire dish.

  9. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.

  10. Remove foil, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes, until bubbly and golden.

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving—if you can wait!
