Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 1/4 cup of cream of mushroom soup, ground beef, bread crumbs, beaten egg, and chopped onion in a bowl.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
- Cook the patties over medium heat in a skillet, a few at a time, until browned on both sides.
- Spoon off excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in the remaining cream of mushroom soup and sliced mushrooms.
- Return the patties to the skillet.
- Reduce heat and cook on low, covering and simmering for 20 minutes, turning the patties occasionally until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, swap half of the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. Using panko bread crumbs can also give the patties a lighter texture. For a twist, serve with gravy made from the drippings or pair with the Meat Ball Stroganoff for a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Salisbury steak with creamy mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Steamed green beans or a fresh salad make excellent sides for a balanced meal. For a complete dinner, consider pairing with crusty bread to mop up the gravy, or enjoy alongside the Old Settler'S Butter Beans for a hearty touch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Salisbury steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of broth or water to keep them moist. Cover and heat until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, checking often to avoid overcooking.
