Hamburger Steak Bake with Condensed Mushroom Gravy (Print-Friendly Version)

This hamburger steak bake uses ground-beef patties and a quick gravy made with condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk and Worcestershire sauce. It is the shortcut-sauce version: no butter-and-flour roux is required. Brown the patties, then move directly to the covered oven finish. The surface color tells you about searing; a thermometer tells you whether the ground beef is cooked.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Hamburger Steaks

01 - 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
02 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tsp onion powder
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Sauce

07 - 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
08 - 1/2 cup milk
09 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
10 - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
11 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

→ Topping

12 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Have the sauce ingredients ready before browning the meat.
02 - Gently combine beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning. Shape four to six oval patties of similar thickness.
03 - Brown patties in a skillet over medium heat, about 2–3 minutes per side as a starting estimate. Work in batches if necessary and transfer directly to the baking dish; do not interrupt cooking to refrigerate partially cooked meat.
04 - Whisk condensed soup, milk and Worcestershire sauce. Pour around the patties and distribute thin onion slices and optional mushrooms over them.
05 - Cover with foil and bake about 30–35 minutes, then uncover as needed to finish the sauce. Check every patty for at least 160°F; extend cooking if necessary rather than relying on bubbling gravy.
06 - Serve with optional parsley after verifying doneness. Cool leftover portions promptly under the storage guidance above.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use condensed cream of mushroom soup in the approximately ten-ounce can specified. Ready-to-serve soup changes the sauce concentration.
02 - No. Finish cooking immediately after searing. Prepare raw patties separately in advance instead.
