Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the cream of mushroom soup with the ground beef, dry bread crumbs, beaten egg, and finely chopped onion.
-
Mix ingredients thoroughly until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
-
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each firmly into a patty.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the patties in batches, browning them on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Remove patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
-
Spoon off excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor.
-
Stir in the remaining cream of mushroom soup and the sliced mushrooms.
-
Return the browned patties to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
-
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Turn patties occasionally during simmering to ensure even heating and coating.
-
Serve hot once the beef is cooked through and the gravy has thickened slightly.

Note
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to prevent the gravy from drying out.
You can use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version, though the texture will be slightly different. For the breadcrumbs, you can substitute with crushed crackers or panko for a crispier exterior.
This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or buttered rice to soak up the delicious mushroom gravy. Add a side of steamed green beans or peas for a complete meal.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or black pepper to the meat mixture before forming patties. Ensure patties are formed firmly to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
