This Easy Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

Step 3: Brown the Patties (Optional but Recommended)

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
Sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Don’t worry about cooking them all the way through; they will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and black pepper until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange the frozen mixed vegetables evenly on the bottom.
Place the hamburger patties on top of the vegetables.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the patties and vegetables, ensuring everything is coated.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired for a cheesy finish.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve this Amish Hamburger Steak Bake with mashed potatoes, rice, or warm bread for a complete, hearty meal.

Tips for Success

Mixing the Meat: Handle ground beef gently to avoid dense patties. A light touch keeps them tender.
Vegetables: Feel free to swap in fresh vegetables or different frozen mixes, such as broccoli and cauliflower, for variety.
Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole a day in advance and refrigerate it. Bake as directed the next day for an effortless dinner.
Cheese Options: Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack can be used instead of cheddar for a unique flavor twist.
