# Ingredients:

→ The Hearty Foundation

01 - 1 1/2 lbs 80/20 lean ground beef
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 large yellow onion, chopped
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ The Comforting Gravy

05 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
07 - 2 tbsp tomato paste
08 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
09 - 1 tsp dried thyme
10 - 1 bay leaf

→ The Garden Goodness

11 - 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
12 - 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
13 - 1 cup frozen green peas

→ Seasoning & Finish

14 - 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
15 - 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Peel and slice 1 cup carrots. This initial prep ensures a smooth start for your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Ultimate Comfort Dinner.
02 - In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs 80/20 lean ground beef and 1 large yellow onion, chopped. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and onion is softened, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
03 - Stir in 3 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the beef mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a light roux for the comforting gravy base.
04 - Gradually whisk in 3 cups low-sodium beef broth, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the gravy thickens slightly. Season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
05 - If not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the beef gravy mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the sliced 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes and 1 cup carrots evenly over the beef mixture. Ensure everything is well distributed for your Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Ultimate Comfort Dinner.
06 - Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are nearly tender. This initial bake allows the vegetables to soften beautifully, absorbing the rich flavors of the gravy.
07 - Remove the foil. Stir in 1 cup frozen green peas. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are fully tender and the gravy is bubbly. Let the Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: Ultimate Comfort Dinner rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to substitute sweet potatoes for Yukon Golds for a slightly different flavor profile, or add other root vegetables like parsnips.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
03 - This hearty bake is a complete meal on its own, but a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad would complement it perfectly.
04 - For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy.
