Amish Poor Man’s Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers (or breadcrumbs)

Instructions:

1. Make the patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crushed crackers, milk, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Shape into rectangular or oval patties (like “steaks”).
2. Brown lightly: In a skillet, brown patties on both sides (they don’t need to cook through — just get color). Transfer to a baking dish.
3. Make the gravy: In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup milk, and water. Pour over the patties.
4. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes, until patties are cooked through and tender.
5. Serve: Spoon gravy over the steaks and enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
