Ingredients
Instructions
- Make hamburger patties from the hamburger meat and brown them in a skillet; drain the grease.

- Pour tomato sauce over the patties and onions.
- Simmer everything for 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce is heated through and flavors meld.
- Serve the hamburger steaks and sauce over cooked white rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the hamburger mixture before forming the patties. If you don’t have tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes can be used as a substitute. You can also mix in some Italian herbs for extra taste. For a unique twist, try serving these with a side of Baked Butter Bean Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hamburger steaks over a generous scoop of fluffy white rice, allowing the sauce to soak in. Pair this dish with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It also goes wonderfully with sides like Darla'S Baked Beans for a hearty feast.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the hamburger steak and sauce in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it, covered, for 2-3 minutes, but be cautious not to overcook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of hamburger meat?
Yes, ground turkey is a great alternative if you're looking for a leaner option. It will yield a slightly different flavor but will still work well with the tomato sauce and onions. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time as turkey may cook faster.
What can I do with leftovers?
Leftovers can be transformed into a delicious sandwich by placing the hamburger steak and sauce between two slices of bread. You can also mix it into pasta for a quick and hearty meal. Just reheat the mixture and toss it with cooked pasta for a satisfying dish.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing in crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños into the tomato sauce. You can also serve the dish with a side of hot sauce for those who prefer extra spice. Adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences.
