Ingredients
  

  • For the Steak Patties:
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 cup crumbled saltine crackers
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup flour for coating
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • For the Gravy:
  • 1-2 cans 10.5 oz each cream of mushroom soup
  • 1.5 cups milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the Steak Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, crumbled saltine crackers, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Shape the mixture into 6-8 oval or rectangular patties.
  • Coat and Brown the Patties: Lightly coat each patty with flour, shaking off any excess. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Prepare for Baking: Place the browned patties in the greased baking dish in a single layer. In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk until smooth. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the patties.
  • Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top slightly.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the patties smothered in gravy with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, corn, or green beans.

Notes

For a mushroom-free version, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cream of celery soup. For a lighter version, use ground turkey instead of beef and add extra vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the mixture.
