Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the hamburger steaks: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then form the mixture into patties (about 4-6 patties, depending on size preference).

3. Cook the patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned on both sides. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a baking dish.

4. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, sliced onion, and sliced mushrooms (if using). Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.

5. Assemble the bake: Pour the mushroom sauce mixture over the cooked hamburger patties in the baking dish. Ensure the patties are well coated.

6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the patties are fully cooked.

7. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
