Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks
- 2 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1½ cups saltine crackers, crushed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Coating and Gravy
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, crushed crackers, milk, seasonings, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Form mixture into ½-inch-thick patties, making 7–9 evenly sized steaks.
- Lightly coat each patty in flour, shaking off excess.
- Brown patties in a skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides.
- Transfer browned patties to the prepared baking dish.

- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Rest briefly, then serve over potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
Do not overmix the meat to keep steaks tender. Browning the patties before baking adds essential flavor. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the gravy.
