My dinner party guests always go nuts over this dish.

There’s something incredibly comforting about a meal that brings together hearty meat and potatoes under one deliciously baked roof. Our Amish Hamburger Steak Bake does just that! This dish has its roots in the simplicity and wholesomeness of Amish cooking, where every meal is made with love and the intention to bring people together. You might want to prepare this for a cozy family dinner, to satisfy that craving for rustic, home-cooked flavor, or when you’re looking to nourish your loved ones with a meal that feels like a warm hug on a plate.

As this Hamburger Steak Bake already comes chock-full of savory potatoes, you might keep the sides light—a crisp garden salad or some steamed green beans drizzled with a touch of butter can add a splash of color and freshness to your hearty meal. If you’re looking to indulge a bit more, a side of buttered cornbread or some glazed carrots make for delightful companions.
