This big title recipe is also BIG on flavor. My family is a huge fan of ground beef recipes and sometimes it’s hard to come up with recipes that are both new AND exciting. Whenever my husband, Todd, offers to make dinner, I always know what he’s thinking of making. He’s got one dish in his repertoire- chili! Haha! That’s his go-to. And that’s probably a lot of other people’s go-to with ground beef. Or hamburgers. So, this is my take on hamburgers… and it comes served over top of the creamiest mashed potatoes and (my favorite vegetable) roasted green beans!
What ground beef should you use? Really, that’s up to you. Ground sirloin is probably what I’d most recommend. You could use about anything, including lean 90/10 or 95/5. But, a little warning that a fattier 80/20 beef product is going to be a little more moist and tender because of the extra fat and less likely to dry out. You could even try using ground turkey, I imagine, for a leaner version of this meal, but I personally haven’t tried it out.
What’s nice about this dish is that everything can cook all at the same time and then it all comes together in the end. It’s a great comfort dish without being too heavy. Perfect for Fall or Winter. Or if you don’t feel like standing over a grill in the Summer, it’s a great way to get your hamburger fix.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add cubed potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes.
- Bring potatoes to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, line a sheetpan with foil. Add green beans and drizzle on about 1 TBSP of EVOO and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Toss together to coat beans and cook beans (in a single layer) for about 15 minutes until beans are roasted, but still crisp.
- While beans are roasting and potatoes are boiling, prepare and cook the hamburger steaks. In a medium bowl, mix together (by hand) all of the hamburger steak ingredients. Divide hamburger into six 4 oz patties.
- Heat 1 tsp of EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for about 3 minutes per side. You don’t want to cook them completely through, just get a nice texture on them. Remove steaks from skillet.
- To the same skillet, add another tsp of EVOO over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until they begin to carmelize, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the flour to the onions and garlic and stir constantly, coating the garlic and onions in the flour, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the gravy to a boil and then lower heat and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add hamburger steaks back to the back and cook together to meld the flavors for about 5 minutes.
- Finish the mashed potatoes- using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until very creamy (use a hand mixer if you have to). Add cream, sour cream, butter and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- To assemble: divide mashed potatoes among plates, top with roasted green beans and a hamburger steak. Drizzle with extra pan gravy and top with fresh chopped parsley.
