beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. - Assemble: Pour the gravy evenly over the hamburger steaks.

Description
This Amish-style hamburger steak bake is hearty, rich, and deeply satisfying.
The beef patties stay juicy while baking in a creamy mushroom gravy that thickens
beautifully in the oven. The onions add subtle sweetness, while Worcestershire sauce
enhances the savory depth. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, egg noodles,
or buttered rice to soak up the flavorful gravy.
Tips
- For Extra Flavor: Brown the patties in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before baking.
- Make It Creamier: Add ¼ cup sour cream to the gravy mixture.
- Add Vegetables: Layer sliced mushrooms or thinly sliced onions under the patties before baking.
- Thicker Gravy: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the sauce before baking.
- Lean Beef Option: Use 85/15 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
Correction & Helpful Notes
- Do not skip covering with foil during baking, as this keeps the steaks moist.
- Avoid overmixing the meat mixture to prevent dense, tough patties.
- Always check the internal temperature to ensure food safety.
