Ingredients
Scale
Hamburger Steaks
- 2 lbs ground beef, 80/20 blend
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, plain
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt

Mashed Potato Topping
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Peel and cube potatoes, then boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and mash with warm milk and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Form Steaks: Mix ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Shape into 6 oval patties about 3/4-inch thick for even cooking.
- Brown Meat: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown hamburger steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden crust forms. Transfer to 9×13 baking dish.
- Make Gravy: In same skillet, cook sliced onions in butter until softened and golden. Sprinkle flour over onions, cook 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in broth and seasonings.
- Assemble Bake: Pour onion gravy over hamburger steaks in baking dish. Dollop mashed potatoes on top and spread gently to cover most of the surface area.
- Bake Golden: Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are golden brown on top and gravy bubbles around edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the meat mixture or steaks will be tough and dense.
- Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days – flavors improve overnight.
- Substitute instant mashed potatoes if short on time, just use less liquid.
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious onion gravy.
- Double the gravy recipe if your family loves extra sauce on everything.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving to prevent burns from hot gravy.
