Ingredients

Scale

Steak Patties

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 ½ cups crushed saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • All-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Gravy

  • 2 10.75 oz cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and whole milk until smooth, then stir in the freshly chopped parsley. Set this mixture aside for later.
  3. Mix Patty Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed saltine crackers, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for balanced flavor.
  4. Form Patties: Gently mix the ingredients using your hands or two forks until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender. Then, shape the mixture into evenly sized patties for uniform cooking.
  5. Dredge Patties in Flour: Pour the all-purpose flour into a shallow dish. Lightly coat each beef patty by dredging it in the flour, which will help develop a nice crust during searing.
  6. Sear Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the patties in the skillet and sear them on both sides until golden brown, working in batches if necessary. Note that the patties will not be fully cooked at this stage.
  7. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the browned patties to the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Pour the mushroom gravy mixture evenly over the patties, then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
  8. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the patties are completely cooked through and the gravy is bubbly and heated.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep patties tender and juicy.
  • Allowing the patties to rest a few minutes after baking can help redistribute juices.
  • If desired, fresh mushrooms can be sautéed and added to the gravy for extra texture.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the savory gravy.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
