Ingredients
  

  • 900 grams 2 pounds ground beef
  • 170 grams 1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
  • 240 ml 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • All-purpose flour for dredging
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Gravy:

  • 2 cans 305 grams each condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 360 ml 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 23x33 cm (9x13-inch) baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and whole milk until well combined. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley. Set the gravy mixture aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed saltine crackers, whole milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper.
  • Using your hands or two forks, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Shape the mixture into evenly-sized patties.
  • Place the all-purpose flour (approximately 1 cup, or more as needed) in a shallow dish and dredge each patty in the flour, coating both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, sear the patties on both sides until golden brown. You may need to work in batches, ensuring that the insides remain undercooked.
  • Transfer the browned patties to the greased baking dish. Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the patties, covering them completely. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the patties are cooked through.
  • Serve the Amish Country Poor Man's Hamburger Steaks hot with the rich mushroom gravy, accompanied by your choice of sides.
