Not a fan of store-bought onion soup mix, you can easily make your own. You can also use ground turkey in this recipe, I would suggest using the 85/15 or the 93/7 as both of those will hold together better.

I’ve been using your recipe for years and it is my husband’s favorite hamburger steak. I can’t remember if I left a review before, so I’m correcting that now! Five stars and beyond!!
The only change I made was to omit the salt due to my own dietary restrictions. I even make my own onion soup mix using no salt added bouillon. My husband adds a little salt to his serving. It works for us.
Thank you for your amazing recipe!
You’re so welcome Angela! Thank you so much for this great comment and we are thrilled you are able to make the recipe to your liking and needs.
Thank you for the recipe! Could this be frozen after cooking? I make freezer meals for my elderly parents to make dinner easier for them.
Yes, I think freezing this would be just fine.
Can the leftovers be frozen?
I’s sure they can.
Is it possible for you to add Full Nutrition Label to your recipes?
My husband has sodium restrictions so a nutritional label would
really help.
Thank you.
At this moment we don’t have that on our recipes since its something we have to pay for in order for it to be added. Maybe in the future. You can easily add the recipe to any nutritional information app.
This is a keeper. It is so so good. The meat is such a wonderful texture. Thank you for this recipe.
You’re very welcome! It’s one of our favorites too!
I love this hamburger steak recipe! I make it a lot and my family just loves it! It’s gotten to where I have to make a double batch every time because we all love this recipe so much’. Keep up the good work ladies, and the great recipes!.. Vernon
This is one of our favorites! We love all of your recipes. Thank you!
My husband makes this all the time, but without the mushrooms. It is yummy.
This has become a great favorite with everyone. We make it regularly and love it.
Can you substitute saltine crackers for the oatmeal? If so, how much?
Thank you!
Im sure you could and it would be the same amount as the oatmeal.
Love making this, my whole family enjoys it.
I just made your hamburger steaks. Didn’t have any mushrooms, but it was still delicious!!!!
Can you use old fashioned oatmeal instead of the instant in the hamburger patty?
Sure!
Holy moly this was delicious! I got seconds.
A few things I tweeked: added half pound ground pork to the meat mixture as well as some worchestershire sauce; sautéed fresh sliced shrooms in a separate pan then once browned, added to the gravy along with a few drops of worchestershire sauce. Absolutely glorious
We call this Meatball burgers!!! Make on the grill too!
Your hamburger steak and gravy is my absolute favorite. I have made these so many times, never get tired of them. Family loves them.
So glad your family loves it!
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Sure!!
This hamburger steak meal looks so good! Haven’t had hamburger steak in more years than I can remember – this will definitely show up at my house soon.
Another Great Recipe!!!
AMAZING! Made this tonight. We both really loved it. Great flavor. We will be making this in the future!
So delicious! I tried this once and had to have it again less than 2 weeks later, even my 3&1/2 year old ate it! Found the second time it was better because I let my hamburger come to room temp before mixing, so it really incorporated the ingredients well. I’m from Nashville and so is my best friend but he’s been in Hawaii for a year and coming back in October. I have told him about this recipe and it is on his requested menu of things for me to cook while he’s in town! I’m sure he’ll be just as impressed as we were, can’t get enough!
Going to make again tonight. A very tasy staple around here. I like dried onion soup mix in the burger for a zing. Mmmm good… :)))t
I make a dish similar to this except I grill the hamburger patties and then proceed with the recipe. Delish!!
Yummy!!!Southern Comfort Food!
Looks yummy! Can’t wait to cook this! Thanks for sharing so many delicious recipes!
I made this last Sunday and it was great…only difference was I didn’t have the onion soup so just made my usual pan gravy and it was awesome. Hubby and son ate it up along with some muffins, mashed potatoes and greenbeans cooked with bacon. YUM!
I’d sure like to be your neighbor so I could get your left-overs :).
Sounds great-can’t wait to try.
I made the hamburger steak and gravy for dinner tonight. The gravy needed a little more flour added. YUM!!!!
I made the Peachy peach crisp oh my word was it ever good so easy and fast to put together…The only thing is do you have one for apple crisp.. just let me know I guess you could use apples instead of peach…
You could use the same one or here is a recipe for apple crisp, too. https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2009/12/07/southern-apple-crisp-with-ice-cream/
OMG I will be making this foe dinner tonight as it is a cold out Thank you for the recipe!!! Love what you post……
