# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Peel and thinly slice the 2 lbs Russet potatoes. Melt the 2 tbsp unsalted butter. This initial preparation sets the stage for your delicious Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Pure Comfort Food Dinner.
02 -
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs 80/20 lean ground beef, 1 large yellow onion (chopped), and 3 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 (10.5 oz) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup whole milk until smooth. This rich, velvety sauce is key to the comforting texture of your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Pure Comfort Food Dinner.
04 -
Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cream of mushroom soup mixture over the beef. Arrange the thinly sliced 2 lbs Russet potatoes in an even layer on top. Drizzle with 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter.
05 -
Sprinkle 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Dust evenly with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. This golden potato and cheese crown will bake to perfection, completing your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Pure Comfort Food Dinner.
06 -
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
07 -
Let the Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Pure Comfort Food Dinner rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set and makes for easier, cleaner portions.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure your potato slices are uniformly thin. A mandoline slicer can achieve this easily and ensure even cooking throughout the bake.
02 -
You can assemble the entire bake (without baking) up to 24 hours in advance. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other cheeses! Monterey Jack, Colby, or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella would also be delicious and complement the rich flavors of this dish.
04 -
This hearty bake is a complete meal on its own, but a simple green salad or some steamed green beans would make a lovely fresh accompaniment.
