How to Make Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Prepare the Beef Mixture
   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed saltine crackers, milk, Italian herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
3. Form and Flour the Steaks
   Shape the mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties, yielding about 8 hamburger steaks. Lightly dredge each patty in flour, shaking off excess.
4. Brown the Steaks
   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil if needed. Brown the patties for 2–3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
5. Assemble for Baking
   Arrange the browned hamburger steaks in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
6. Prepare and Add the Gravy
   In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Pour the gravy evenly over the steaks.
7. Bake
   Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the gravy is bubbling and the steaks are cooked through.
8. Rest and Serve
   Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra gravy over the steaks and serve hot.
