Recipe: My Salisbury Steak

I have a large family so this recipe feeds 6-8 and tastes like Salisbury Steak. Recipe can easily be made in half and/or leftovers can be frozen - my favorite trick for sometimes getting out of cooking.

Ingredients:

• 4 lb. hamburger meat
• 1 pkg. saltines
• 2 - 2 cup pkgs. brown gravy mix (or 4 - 1 cup pkgs.)
• 2 small cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained well (optional)
• 3 stalks celery, wash and trim ends but leave the leaves on
• 1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled & cut into pieces
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp. beef bouillon flavoring
• 2 tsp. black pepper
• short 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Directions:

You will need a blender or food processor, a large bowl for mixing. Foil for covering top of baking dish. A saucepan for mixing the gravy, and a deep-sided baking dish large enough to hold 6 to 8-8 oz. patties and gravy. I usually use my roasting pan.

Put the raw meat into the large bowl, breaking into pieces.

In the blender or processor cup, add about 1/4 of the crackers at a time and; whirl into a powder; add the powdered crackers to the meat.

Next, cut the celery into about 3-inch pieces; add to blender cup. Cut the onion into chunks & also add to blender cup. Add all remaining ingredients except for the brown gravy mix and optional mushrooms: whirl until smooth. Pour the vegetable mixture over the hamburger and crackers and thoroughly mix together - using your hands works best. Divide mixture as evenly as possible into 6 to 8 patties.

Place on pre-heated, broiler pan and broil each side at the lowest position for 10 minutes on each side.

While the meat is broiling, prepare your gravy mix using only 3 cups of water instead of the usual 4 cups you would normally make it with. Bring to a boil, then lower temperature & allow to simmer for a few minutes. At this point, you can add the optional mushrooms. Just before the hamburger patties are finished, pour about 1/4 of the brown gravy into the baking dish. When patties are done, use a spatula to remove them from the broiler pan & place on top of the gravy in the baking dish. Pour remaining gravy over the top of the hamburger patties, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

I know this sounds complicated but it really isn't. The beauty of it all is that you can put the cooled down patties and gravy in ziplock freezer bags to lay flat in the freezer. Our family has grown up and moved away but I still make the same amount, leave out 2 for dinner that night and freeze the rest so I won't have to cook later. Enjoy!

Recipe: Tina's Salisbury Steak

Ingredients:

• 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. Lean Ground Beef
• 1/3 cup Bread Crumbs or Cracker Crumbs
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1/2 tsp. Pepper
• 1 Egg
• Small Onion Sliced (I use half) (Optional)
• 1 Can Condensed Beef Broth
• 1 - 4 oz. Can Sliced Mushrooms (Drained)
• 2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp. Water
• 1 - Packet Brown Gravy Mix (prepared) or 1 - Jar/Can Brown Gravy

Directions:

Mix First 5 ingredients together and shape into ovals about 3/4 inches thick. Cook patties in a skillet turning once until brown. Add onion mushroom and beef broth heat to boiling. Reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove patties to a casserole dish and keep warm. Heat mixture until boiling.

Mix water and cornstarch together to make a paste. Add to boiling mixture with a wire whisk and whisk until gravy begins to thicken. I don't think the gravy is hearty enough for me so I also add 1 packet of brown or mushroom gravy prepared according to package directions and add to the beef broth gravy. I then pour the gravy over the patties in the casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F until bubbly. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.

Recipe: Easy Salisbury Steak

This recipe is called Salisbury Steak, however it is not made with steak, it is made with hamburger. It is so delicious and reasonable to make. The fact I just made it made me think I should be sharing this.

Ingredients

• 1 (10 3/4) can of Golden Mushroom soup.
• 1 1/2 lb. hamburger
• 1/2 cup cracker crumbs (saltines)
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 onion, finely chopped*
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/3 cup water (save for later)

*I do not use onion nor pepper in anything I make due to problems, so you can still make it and it is great!

Directions

In med bowl, combine hamburger and 1/4 of the mushroom soup. Add the 1/3 cup water to soup left in can, mix and save for later. Add cracker crumbs, pepper and egg. Mix well.

Shape mixture into 6 patties. Depending on how you make them, you may get more then that. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, 350 degrees F in a 13x9 or 12x8 inch baking dish. Skim off fat. Now add the rest of the soup and bake for 10 more minutes.

You may opt to fry on stove (I have only used the oven method). Brown Patties in 1 Tbsp. hot oil, drain. Add soup and water, simmer covered 10-15 minutes.

My husband and I have made extra gravy and used it over rice. We thought it was a really delicious, easy and affordable dinner. Enjoy!

RE: Easy Salisbury Steak

I made this for supper tonight and it was very good, plus the bonus is no frying. Next time I will add a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of garlic powder and a chopped green pepper to the hamburger mixture. This is the type of recipe each person can play with to suit their own taste. It's always nice to find a new hamburger recipe that is easy, tastes good and has no strange ingredients. Thank you for posting it. (04/23/2009)
