Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 14 crackers)
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons total)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
- Optional, for serving: mashed potatoes, noodles, rice, or crusty bread
Instructions
- Line a tray or baking sheet with wax paper; set aside. In a large bowl, use your hands or a fork to gently combine the ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Shape the meat mixture into 4 equal patties. Place the patties on the prepared tray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until browned and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm while you make the gravy.
- Add 1 more tablespoon of butter to the drippings in the skillet. When the butter melts, add the mushrooms to the skillet and fry until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the condensed soup and the milk; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer the gravy for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the parsley.
- Return the patties to the skillet. Warm over low heat, spooning the gravy over the patties.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes
- How to Store: Freeze the patties before or after cooking. Wrap cooked hamburger steaks tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrapped properly, leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 days.
