How to Make Amish Salisbury Steak

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Soak 1 cup of crushed saltine crackers in 1/2 cup of milk for 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Add the soaked cracker mixture to the beef mixture and gently combine. Do not overmix.
5. Shape the mixture into 6 oblong patties (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties slightly on both sides.
7. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. Pour off excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of beef broth (or water), 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
9. Pour the gravy mixture into the skillet with the beef drippings. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
10. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
11. Place the browned patties in a baking dish. Pour the gravy over the patties.
12. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is bubbly.
