Pour cream of mushroom soup over raw ground beef patties, coupled with 2 ingredients, into a glass baking dish for a hearty supper that’s the one ev

This oven baked 4-ingredient Amish-style poor man’s steak is the kind of cozy, stick-to-your-ribs supper that feels right at home in a small Midwestern kitchen. It starts with simple raw ground beef patties, laid into a glass baking dish and smothered with creamy mushroom soup and just two more pantry ingredients.

Everything bakes together into tender, gravy-covered patties that taste like they took all afternoon, even though they come together in minutes. It’s budget-friendly, kid-approved, and the one my family always asks for when we need an easy, comforting meal on a busy weeknight.

Serve these creamy baked patties with fluffy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up all that mushroom gravy. A side of green beans, steamed peas, or a simple tossed salad helps balance out the richness. Warm dinner rolls or slices of crusty bread are perfect for mopping up the last bit of sauce in the glass dish. For a fuller plate, add applesauce or coleslaw on the side—just like a small-town church supper.
