Poor Man’s Steak

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1/2 cup fine bread or cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups cream of mushroom soup (make your own if possible)
• 2-3 tablespoons water, opt.

Preparation

Step 1

Combine ground beef, bread/cracker crumbs, water, salt, and pepper. Pat mixture out to ¾” thick (a 2 quart baking dish works great). Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.

Remove meat from refrigerator and divide out into 6 pieces. Pat each piece ¾” thick. Lightly coat each piece with flour. Brown in a small amount of oil on each side. Place into a baking dish. Pour the cream of mushroom soup (thinned with the 2-3 tablespoons of water if it is too thick) over the meat. Cover and bake at 300F for 1½ hours.
