The Story Behind the Recipe
I first discovered this Amish Hamburger Steak Bake recipe during a visit to an Amish community in Pennsylvania. I was struck by the simplicity and heartiness of their cuisine. The Amish people have a deep-rooted connection to their land and take pride in using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This inspired me to recreate their famous hamburger steak bake in my own kitchen.
Ingredients and Preparation
To make this mouthwatering Amish Hamburger Steak Bake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 cup beef broth
– 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
– 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Next, spread the ground beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the thinly sliced potatoes over the meat mixture, followed by the frozen mixed vegetables. Pour the beef broth over the top, ensuring that all the ingredients are moistened.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
