Equipment
- 1 9 x 13 baking dish
- 1 14 inch flat non stick pan
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds Ground beef 80 / 20 works fine
- 2 cups Saltine cracker crumbs approximately 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers – crushed
- 1 ½ cups Milk whole or 2%
- ½ teaspoon Kinder’s Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Flour to dredge
- Gravy
- 3 cans Condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.75 ounces cans
- 1 can Milk use soup can
- 1 can Water use soup can
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or you can use a butter stick.
- For Gravy: In a medium size bowl add the 3 cans of soup, milk, water, and mix well – set aside for now.
- Hamburger Steak Patties: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, saltines, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Form 8 to 10 large patties, making them all equal sizes. Lightly dredge the patties in the flour.
- Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray , then brown patties on both sides until lightly browned, about 3 minutes each side. The inside will still be uncooked. Do not smash the burgers.
- Place patties in the baking dish. Pour gravy evenly over patties, where it slightly covers the patties. Cover dish with foil.
- Bake at 350F for at least 1 and 1/2 hours, or until the steak patties are well done, reaching a safe internal minimum temperature of 160F. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Either saltine or Ritz crackers work well.
- These burgers can be served with any side; mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, tatter tots, rice, egg noodles, pasta, favorite veggies, salad. To reheat leftovers, you may need to add more milk so it doesn’t burn.
