Quick Salisbury Steak
Quick Salisbury Steak offers savory ground beef patties in a rich mushroom gravy, perfect for a hearty, comforting meal that's easy to prepare and satisfying for the whole family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Make 6 patties from ground beef, dip in beaten egg, then in flour or bread crumbs.
- Brown the patties in 1 tablespoon oil until cooked through.
- Season with salt and pepper, then drain excess grease.
- Add mushroom soup and chopped onion to the skillet with the patties.
- Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes or until the sauce is heated through and the patties are fully cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to the beef mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, use ground turkey instead of beef or substitute the mushroom soup with a homemade mushroom gravy. You can also incorporate finely chopped mushrooms directly into the patties for added moisture and taste. Pair this dish with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Salisbury steak over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious mushroom sauce. Steamed green beans or a simple garden salad make excellent side dishes, providing a nice contrast to the hearty patties. For a comforting twist, consider pairing with a side of Sheila'S Beef And Macaroni for a satisfying meal.
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 and sauce in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. You can also microwave them in short intervals, covered, until heated thoroughly.
