Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder into the beef mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. You can also use crushed tortilla chips instead of cracker crumbs for a unique twist. To save time, use pre-made gravy instead of the mix.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Salisbury steak with a side of creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. A fresh garden salad or steamed broccoli pairs nicely to add some color and crunch. This dish can also be enjoyed alongside rice, making it a great companion for dishes like Rotel Rice Casserole.
