This oven baked 4-ingredient Amish-style poor man\u2019s steak is the kind of cozy, stick-to-your-ribs supper that feels right at home in a small Midwestern kitchen. It starts with simple raw ground beef patties, laid into a glass baking dish and smothered with creamy mushroom soup and just two more pantry ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Everything bakes together into tender, gravy-covered patties that taste like they took all afternoon, even though they come together in minutes. It\u2019s budget-friendly, kid-approved, and the one my family always asks for when we need an easy, comforting meal on a busy weeknight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Serve these creamy baked patties with fluffy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up all that mushroom gravy. A side of green beans, steamed peas, or a simple tossed salad helps balance out the richness. Warm dinner rolls or slices of crusty bread are perfect for mopping up the last bit of sauce in the glass dish. For a fuller plate, add applesauce or coleslaw on the side\u2014just like a small-town church supper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1 1\/2 pounds ground beef (80\u201385% lean)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup whole milk (or 2% milk)<\/div>\n
1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry onion soup mix <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray to help with cleanup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef and dry onion soup mix. Use clean hands to gently mix until the seasoning is evenly distributed, but do not overwork the meat so the patties stay tender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Divide the seasoned beef mixture into 6 to 8 equal portions, depending on how big you like your patties. Shape each portion into a flat oval or round patty about 1\/2 to 3\/4 inch thick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
