About This Recipe
There’s something about Amish recipes that just feels like a hug on a plate, right?

We stopped at a tiny roadside diner run by the sweetest Amish family, and this dish stole the show. It was warm, flavorful, and layered with down-home goodness. Naturally, I had to recreate it once we got back home, and now it’s one of my go-to comfort meals.

Secret Tips
Use 80/20 ground beef – Just enough fat to keep it juicy without being greasy.
Slice potatoes thinly so they cook evenly and absorb the flavor.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy for extra umami.
Brown the patties first – don’t skip this step! It locks in flavor.
