2. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.

3. Form and Sear Patties:
   Shape the mixture into 6–8 thick patties. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the patties for 2–3 minutes per side until browned (they don’t need to be fully cooked through). Transfer them to the prepared baking dish.

4. Make the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth (or water), paprika, and garlic powder. Pour the sauce evenly over the patties.

5. Top with Cheese:
   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over each patty and the sauce.

6. Bake:
   Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the patties are cooked through.

7. Serve:
   Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the cheesy gravy over each patty for extra richness.
