Ingredients

Steaks

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3/4 cup cracker crumbs (I used buttery crackers, which add more flavor than Saltines)
• 1/2 cup milk (You could use evaporated milk)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Gravy

• 10.5 ounces (1 can) cream of mushroom soup
• 3/4 cup milk

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the ground beef, cracker crumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder into a large mixing bowl. Season well with salt and black pepper. Mix to combine. Do not over-mix. (For a gluten-free dinner, use gluten-free crackers and gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.)
2. In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and the milk.
3. Spread about 1/4 cup of the soup mixture onto the bottom of a baking dish.
4. Shape the mixture into meatballs and place on top of the soup. (The size of your meatballs will determine how many you get. I got 10 good-sized meatballs.)
5. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the meatballs.
6. Sprinkle with black pepper, if desired.
7. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or with aluminum foil.
8. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Uncover during the last 5 minutes of cooking time to brown it a bit.
9. Sprinkle with parsley flakes, if desired.
10. Serve over egg noodles or rice or potatoes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave.
