Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4–5 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
  • Prepare Hamburger Patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Form into 6 patties. This creates the hamburger steaks.
  • Brown Hamburger Patties: In a skillet, brown the patties on both sides, but don’t fully cook through. Set aside. This adds flavor and texture.
  • Prepare Gravy: In the same skillet, whisk together 1 cup milk and the flour until smooth. Slowly whisk in remaining 1 cup milk until a gravy forms. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. This creates the creamy gravy.
  • Layer Potatoes and Onions: Layer half the potato slices in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half the onion slices. This creates the first vegetable layer.
  • Place Hamburger Patties: Place the browned hamburger patties over the onions. This adds the protein layer.
  • Layer Remaining Potatoes and Onions: Layer the remaining potatoes and onions on top of the patties. This creates the second vegetable layer.
  • Pour Gravy: Pour the prepared gravy evenly over everything. This coats the layers with creamy gravy.
  • Bake Covered: Cover dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. This cooks the potatoes and hamburger patties.
  • Add Cheese and Bake Uncovered: Remove foil, top with shredded cheese, and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes until cheese is melted. This melts the cheese and browns the top.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. This allows the gravy to thicken and prevents burning.

Notes

  • Thinly slice potatoes for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcook patties during browning.
  • Adjust gravy seasoning to taste.
  • Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience.
  • Let the bake rest before serving.
