I think Hamburger steak was/is children's favorite dish. My BF who does not like meatloaf likes hamburger steak (yes, there are tons of things that i don't understand, but oh well...), so when we had lot of Asian food for dinner, sometimes i make hamburger steak with my aunt's recipe. My cousins didn't like vegetable as little kids, so my aunt grated all vegs and mix them in the meat. Not only it covers up what's in the steak, but gave juicy flavor!  Corns and beans came from summer garden.
