*Ingredients:*
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 cup bread crumbs
– 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
*Instructions:*
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until just combined.
3. Form into steak shapes (about 1-1.5 inches thick).
4. Place the hamburger steaks in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through.
*Optional:*
– Add your favorite gravy or sauce (e.g., brown gravy, mushroom gravy) over the steaks during the last 15 minutes of baking.
– Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles, or your favorite sides.
*Tips:*
– You can also make this recipe in a crockpot. Brown the hamburger steaks in a skillet, then transfer them to the crockpot with your chosen sauce and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
– For an extra-flavorful twist, mix in some chopped bell peppers or mushrooms into the meat mixture.
