Easy “Poor Man’s Steak”

This Poor Man’s Steak is classic comfort in a bowl, turning humble ground beef into a savory, melt-in-your-mouth meal. Slow-braising the patties in mushroom soup and onion mix creates a rich, umami-packed gravy that naturally tenderizes the meat. Think of it as an easy Salisbury steak—perfect for nights when you crave a hearty “meat and potatoes” dinner with almost no prep.
