Equipment
- 1 9×13 baking dish
- 1 14 inch flat non stick pan We got our from Sam's club Members Mark Brand
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds ground beef 80% to 20%
- 2 cups saltine cracker crumbs approximately 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers – crushed
- 1 ½ cups milk I use whole milk
- ½ teaspoon Kinder’s seasoning Italian
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 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 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or you can use a butter stick.
- To Make Gravy: In a medium size bowl add the 3 cans of soup, milk, water, and mix well – set aside for now. We will go to the patties.
- Hamburger Steak Patties: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, crumple the saltines, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Form 8 to 10 large patties, making them all equal sizes.
- Next, lightly coat in flour the patties and fry in a skillet with high sides on medium-high heat until brown on both sides. This will take about 3 minutes each side the smell of flour will be gone.
- The inside will still be uncooked. Do not smash the burgers.
- Place patties in the baking dish. If making more than 6 patties, get another cooking dish.
- Pour gravy evenly over patties, where it slightly covers the patties.
- Bake covered with foil
- Cook for 1 and 1/2 hours or until the steak patties are well done, reaching a safe internal minimum temperature of 160F.
- If they are still not 160F, cook for 20 more minutes.
- Eat alone or serve with sides.
Notes
- You can use saltines or ritz crackers either or will work.
- The burgers can be added to any side; mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, tatter tots, rice, egg noodles, pasta, favorite veggies, salad. If you are reheating it make sure to add more milk so it doesn’t burn.
