Chopped Steaks Recipe

Throwback to this delicious hamburger steak recipe that my mom used to make for us growing up. A mini meatloaf braised in caramelized onions!

Anytime I hear the term “Chopped Steak” I’m instantly teleported back to my mom’s house for dinnertime. What’s on the menu? Chopped steaks with caramelized onions, fried potatoes, and mixed green frozen veggies. A classic dinner at the Ruane household consisted of 3 components, a veg, potato, and protein.

I still can’t believe my mom would come home from work and cook a full 3-course meal for us after an 8-hour shift as a nurse. Her chopped steaks were my favorite. It was for her kids who somehow did not like actual steak, but we LOVED the ground version. It’s like a cute individual serving of meatloaf, just for you! You brown the patties, caramelize the onions, then braise in a beef and onion gravy. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried these tasty steaks.
