- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers

How to Make Amish Hamburger Steak Bake
Now that you’ve gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to get cooking! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be digging into this comforting meal in no time.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that oven nice and hot, so everything bakes evenly and bubbles beautifully.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form the mixture into patties. I usually dive in with my hands, get a bit messy! You want the patties to be about the size of baseballs.
In a greased baking dish, place the patties, then pour the cream of mushroom soup over them. It might feel a little strange pouring the soup right over the meat, but trust me it’ll soak in and get all extra yummy as it cooks.
Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the patties. I like to create a nice even layer so every bite is creamy and flavorful. You can use a spatula or just your hands to do this!
If you’re feeling cheesy, sprinkle cheese on top. (Yes, please!) You want that melty goodness bubbling up around the edges.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. You want the patties to cook through and become tender.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the dish is hot and bubbly. Ahh, the delicious smell wafting through your kitchen will be hard to resist!
Serve warm. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, maybe with a side salad or some steamed green veggies for a pop of color!
