INGREDIENTS
Hamburger Steak Patties
- 2 ½ pounds ground beef (I use lean ground beef)
- 2 cups saltine cracker crumbs (approximately 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers – crushed)
- 1 ½ cups milk (I use 2 %)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- dash cayenne pepper
- flour to dredge
Gravy
-
- 3 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.75 ounces cans)
- 1 can milk (use soup can)
- 1 can water (use soup can)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
-
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Make Gravy: In a medium size bowl add the 3 cans of soup, milk, water, parsley and mix well – set aside.
-
Hamburger Steak Patties: In a large bowl, using your hands, mix ground beef, cracker crumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper until well blended. Gently form 8 to 10 large patties (don’t press too hard), making them all equal size.
-
Next, lightly dredge (coat) in flour and fry in a skillet with high sides on medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides – inside will still be uncooked.
-
Place patties in baking dish. If making more than 6 patties, layer them. Pour gravy evenly over patties, bake covered with foil on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour or until the steak patties are well done, reaching a safe internal minimum temperature of 160 degrees f.
-
-
*If you are making more than 6 patties and need to layer them, turn the top layer of patties over one time, halfway through baking to insure even cooking.
-
Serve steaks with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, rice, egg noodles, favorite veggies, salad. Be sure to spoon the gravy over potatoes, rice and/or noodles. Enjoy!
