🛒 Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Shape the Hamburger Steaks
Divide the ground beef into portions and shape them into thick hamburger steak patties. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish
Arrange the hamburger steak patties in a baking dish in a single layer. Scatter the sliced onions evenly over the top.
4. Make the Gravy
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
5. Add the Sauce
Pour the creamy mushroom mixture evenly over the hamburger steaks and onions, making sure the patties are well covered.
6. Bake
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the patties are cooked through and the sauce is hot and bubbling.
For food safety, ground beef should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
7. Brown the Top
Remove the foil during the final few minutes of baking if you’d like the top to become slightly browned and caramelized.
8. Serve
Serve the hamburger steaks hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, spooning plenty of the creamy onion gravy over the top.
⭐ Tips for Success
- Don’t make the patties too thin. Slightly thicker patties stay tender while baking.
- Slice the onion evenly so it cooks at the same rate throughout the dish.
- Cover while baking to help keep the hamburger steaks moist and allow the onions to soften in the gravy.
- For extra flavor, you can add a little more Worcestershire sauce to the gravy.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the gravy can settle.
🍽️ What to Serve With It
This hearty bake is especially delicious with creamy mashed potatoes because they soak up the mushroom and onion gravy beautifully.
You can also serve it with white rice, egg noodles, roasted vegetables, green beans, or a simple side salad.
🧊 Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the hamburger steaks gently in a covered skillet or oven. Add a splash of beef broth if the gravy becomes too thick.
