Amish Poor Man's Steak

Steak Fajitas
Steak Fajitas - Author's Picture

Tonight we didn't purchase groceries, as we normally do. Instead, the kids went to buy their own stuff. We'll go, probably, tomorrow. We'll have to buy ours and Mom's.

Oh, today I received (via UPS) a Star Wars retro two-pack. It's a bounty hunter set, featuring a 70s-80s Boba Fett remake and a Bossk figure. Pictures will be added at a later date.

The picture shows steak fajitas that I cooked a couple of days ago. This time, instead of using pre-cooked meat, I used eye-of-round steak that I grilled and seasoned myself. Everyone said that it was far better with the home-cooked steak.

Tonight, I cooked my version of a recipe that I first saw on a Facebook reel. The young woman who posted said that she called it, "Amish poor man's steak." She said that it was considered to be a treat, and was very popular as a dish at church. Since then, I've discovered that Google will reveal several variants of the recipe. Here's my version:

Ingredients

  • One pound of hamburger meat
  • Two cans of cream of mushroom soup
  • One medium-sized onion, sliced
  • Sliced or shredded mild cheddar cheese (or any kind of cheese that your family prefers)
Directions

  • Form the hamburger into patties and cook them however you're accustomed to cooking them. I used a George Foreman grill.
  • Sauté the onions.
  • Top the cooked patties with the onions.
  • Top the cooked patties with the cream of mushroom soup.
  • Add cheese to cover each patty.
  • Cook on 350° for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Enjoy.
