Tantalizing Amish Salisbury Steak: Heavenly Home-cooked Delight!

1. Mix ground beef, milk, crackers, onion, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Shape mixture into a narrow loaf and place onto a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut loaf into 1-inch thick slices and sear in the hot skillet until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The inside will still be pink. Arrange slices in a roasting pan. Spread mushroom soup over steaks.

4. Bake steaks in the preheated oven until mushroom soup is bubbling and meat is no longer pink inside, about 1 hour. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meat slice should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips

We like to supplement the gravy by adding additional fresh mushrooms and onion slices. You can use French onion soup instead of cream of mushroom but skip the teaspoon of salt.
