How to Make Amish Poor Mans Steak

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  4. In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with 1 cup of water or milk (or a combination).
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the meatloaf.
  6. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
