There’s something special about Amish cooking—it’s simple, filling, and made with love. This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table without being called. Juicy hamburger steaks, rich savory flavors, and slow-baked goodness make this dish perfect for family dinners, church gatherings, or cozy weekends at home. No fancy ingredients—just honest food that warms the soul.

🥩 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs ground beef
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Optional (Traditional Add-Ins for a Full Bake):

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth or milk
1 small onion, sliced
2–3 cups sliced potatoes or egg noodles
1 tbsp butter

(Optional ingredients are commonly used in Amish kitchens to turn this into a full casserole.)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix until just combined—don’t overwork the meat.
Form into evenly sized hamburger steaks.
Place the patties in a greased baking dish.
Add sliced onions and potatoes (if using) around and over the patties.
In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup with beef broth or milk.
Pour evenly over everything.
Dot the top with butter.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until bubbly and cooked through.

🔥 Cooking Method

This dish is oven-baked, allowing the flavors to slowly blend together. Baking keeps the hamburger steaks tender while the gravy forms naturally—no frying, no fuss. This slow, steady method is a hallmark of Amish home cooking.

🕰️ A Little History
