Here is the after....

Here is the recipe..

Hamburger Steaks

2 lb ground meat
seasonings of your choice
onions
bell pepper
mushrooms
cream of mushroom soup
beef stock or broth

Season ground meat with your favorite seasonings. I don't add anything other then salt, pepper and garlic to my meat, but if you want to add anything else, go right ahead. I won't be there to see lol.  Shape into steaks.

Brown both sides of steak in dutch oven. Add onions, bell peppers, mushrooms.  Mix together all other ingredients with some more seasonings and pour over steaks. Simmer for about an hour. Go easy on the salt as the soup, and stock are both salty.
