For the Gravy:
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
💡 Pro Tip: Use low-sodium soup if watching salt intake.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Beef Mixture
In a large bowl, combine:
Ground beef
Crumbled saltines
1 cup milk
Italian herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper
Mix gently until just combined (don’t overwork).
3. Form & Coat Patties
Shape into 8 oval patties (½-inch thick).
Lightly coat each in flour, shaking off excess.
4. Brown the Steaks
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat (add 1 tbsp oil if needed).
Brown patties 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
⚠️ Don’t cook through—they’ll finish baking!
5. Assemble & Bake
Arrange browned steaks in the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk mushroom soup + 1 cup milk until smooth.
