"ON A PASTOR'S BUDGET and with seven children, we didn't have steak very often. But we were just as satisfied with this wonderful dish Mom dreamed up—a country-style "steak" with creamy gravy. It was always a hit with our family.
With Johnsonville Italian Sausage.

My husband loves hamburger meat any way that you can prepare it, so upon seeing this, I was sure he would love it. I do not care for mushroom soup but decided to give it a try for him. I was blown away!! This is absolutely delicious; mushroom soup and all. I am so hooked and it will be a regular on our table. I cut the recipe in half and took a plate to my home bound mother in law who loves it too. We even had left overs for my hubby to enjoy at lunch the following day. I did add 2 cans of soup as some suggested but would probably add 3 or 4 if I used the full recipe. The soup just makes it!

I didn't use the water, just some milk and 1 egg in my hamburger mix. Then I pattied them, floured them up and pre-cooked them half way. I used two cans of cream of mushroom with some milk, layered the patties on this bed of soup and spooned a dollop of soup mix over the top of each patty. Baked 20-30 minutes covered. This was 5-star for me when served with the Scalloped cheesy potatoes.

I needed something for supper the other night and had all the ingrediants on hand. This was suprisingly very good! i will definately make it again. The cream of mushroom needs doubled, but other than that great. it was super tender and had great flavor. i didnt refridgerate it over night, just all afternoon and it turned out fine.

Poor Man's Steak is very good. My mother started making this in the 70's with a cookbook recipe.
