Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, chopped onion, chili powder, and garlic salt in a bowl.
- Shape the mixture into 4 oblong patties.
- Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties in the skillet for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned; drain excess fat.
- Stir in the chunky salsa tomatoes (undrained) into the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and turning the patties once, until the patties are no longer pink in the center and the juice runs clear.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped bell peppers or fresh cilantro. If you're short on time, you can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Adjust the chili powder to your heat preference, and serve with a dollop of sour cream for a creamy contrast. This dish complements well with classic American recipes like Four Bean Baked Beans.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Salsa Salisbury Steak over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious salsa sauce. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish also goes well with crusty bread for mopping up any extra sauce. For a complete dinner experience, consider serving it alongside Sherry'S Mozetti.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the patties moist, or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. This helps retain the flavors and texture of the dish.
