Ingredients  1x2x3x

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 ½ cups saltine crackers crumbled
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Dash of cayenne pepper optional
• ½ cup flour
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 can 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup milk for gravy

Instructions 

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, crumbled saltine crackers, 1 cup milk, Italian herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Form the Steaks: Shape the beef mixture into ½-inch-thick steaks, yielding about 8 steaks.
• Coat in Flour: Lightly coat each steak in flour, shaking off excess.
• Brown the Steaks: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil if needed, and brown the steaks on both sides until golden crust forms.
• Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the browned steaks in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
• Prepare the Gravy: In a bowl, whisk together the condensed mushroom soup and 1 cup milk until smooth; pour over the steaks.
• Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the gravy is bubbling and steaks are cooked through.
• Rest and Serve: Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving hot with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

• Cracker Substitutions: Use bread crumbs, crushed Ritz crackers, or Panko instead of saltines.
• Spice Adjustments: Customize the seasoning by adding more garlic, onion powder, or herbs like thyme or rosemary.
• Gravy Alternatives: Substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup, or make a homemade gravy with beef broth.
• Meat Variations: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version, adjusting cooking time as needed.
