Start your culinary adventure by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F, preparing a 9×13 baking dish with a gentle greasing.
In a large bowl, lovingly mix your ground beef with crumbled saltine crackers, milk, and the symphony of spices until the mixture is just right for shaping into 1/2-inch-thick steaks. This is where the magic starts.
Gently coat each steak in flour, giving them a delicate crust that will crisp beautifully in the pan.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the steaks to a golden hue, then tenderly place them in your prepared baking dish, arranging them like pieces of art.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and condensed mushroom soup until smooth. This concoction will serve as a velvety blanket over your steaks.
Cover your baking dish with foil, sealing in the love and moisture, and bake for 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the gravy is bubbling with joy, and the aroma calls everyone to the table.
Allow the dish a moment to rest after its oven journey—this lets everything come together in perfect harmony.
