                  Notes

                  Tip 1: Do Not Overmix the Meat. This is the number one rule for tender patties. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. If you overwork the meat, the Amish hamburger steak bake will be dense and tough. Tip 2: Make It Dairy Free. For a dairy free hamburger steak bake, substitute the milk with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, use a dairy free butter substitute, and ensure your breadcrumbs are dairy free. The dish will still be rich and delicious. Tip 3: Add a Little Heat. If you like a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy. This pairs beautifully with the savory flavors and is a fun twist on the traditional Amish recipe. Tip 4: Make It a One Pot Meal. After searing the patties, add a cup of sliced carrots or diced potatoes to the baking dish before pouring the gravy. This turns it into a complete one dish dinner with even more nutritional value. Tip 5: The Secret to a Silky Gravy. For an extra smooth gravy, whisk the flour into the butter and onion mixture until it forms a paste before adding any liquid. Then slowly whisk in the tomato sauce. This prevents lumps and gives you a restaurant quality finish.
