Ingredients

Scale
  • Hamburger Steaks:
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 1½ cups saltine crackers (crushed, ~1 sleeve)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt & black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • Creamy Gravy:
  • 2 cans (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • Optional: sliced mushrooms, diced onion

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven 350°F. Grease 9×13″ baking dish.
  • 2. Mix ground beef, crushed crackers, 1 cup milk, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, pepper until just combined.
  • 3. Shape into 8 oval patties (~¾” thick). Dredge lightly in flour.
  • 4. Brown patties in hot skillet 3 mins per side. Transfer to baking dish.
  • 5. Whisk cream of mushroom soup + 1½ cups milk until smooth. Pour over steaks.
  • 6. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 35 mins until hot & bubbly.
  • 7. Uncover, bake 10 mins more until edges browned.
  • 8. Rest 10 mins. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Crackers + milk = ultra-tender patties (secret weapon!).
  • Don’t overmix meat or patties toughen.
  • 80/20 beef = self-basting juiciness.
  • Cream of chicken sub works perfectly too.
  • Make ahead: assemble, cover, fridge 24hrs. Bake straight from cold +10 mins.
  • Freezes beautifully – thaw overnight before baking.
  • Leftovers = even better! Gravy thickens overnight.
  • Substitute gluten-free crackers + flour if needed.
  • Serves 6-8 generously. Ultimate family comfort food.
