A comforting and hearty Amish Hamburger Steak Bake combining seasoned ground beef patties, savory gravy, and thinly sliced potatoes baked together for an easy one-dish family meal full of warm, classic flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped + 1 additional onion sliced
  • 4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp butter or oil (for sautéing)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour as needed)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional herbs: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: In a bowl, combine ground beef with finely chopped onions, salt, and pepper. Shape into small patties about 3 inches in diameter. Brown the patties in a hot skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions and Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter or oil and sauté the sliced onions until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the onions, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Layer the Bake: Grease a baking dish and arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer. Pour some gravy over the potatoes. Place the browned hamburger steaks on top, then layer the remaining potato slices. Pour the remaining gravy evenly over the entire dish, ensuring potatoes are covered.
  4. Bake Until Tender: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and gravy is bubbling. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to brown the top slightly.
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the bake rest for at least 5 minutes out of the oven to thicken the sauce and meld flavors. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the ground beef to keep the patties tender.
  • Slice potatoes evenly (about 1/8 inch) for consistent cooking.
  • Use high-quality beef broth for richer gravy flavor.
  • Taste the gravy before baking and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Allow the bake to rest after cooking for best texture and flavor integration.
