Simple Salisbury Steak

If I remember correctly salisbury steak was in the first frozen TV dinners.  I always associate the steak with frozen dinners.  And it came with mashed potatoes and peas and carrots.  So I tried to recreate this meal tonight minus the carrots.  There is something comforting about this meal on a cold winters night.  This recipe couldn't be any easier.  It only took a few minutes to put together and cook.  Not only is it comfort food but it is quick and easy comfort food.

I wish I had had a divided plate for our not so frozen TV dinner.

 The only thing you might need to make sure you have on hand is two packets of brown gravy.  I think I might try onion gravy next time.

 To 1 lb of ground beef/chuck add 1/3 cup bread crumbs

 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 2 teaspoons ketchup

 1 teaspoon mustard

 1 teaspoon steak sauce

 Mix all that well.  It really mixes better if you use your hands.

 Then form them into the oblong patties.  Place in a skillet and cook on med-low heat.

 While the patties are cooking; mix up the gravy.  2 cups hot water

 Add both gravy packets

 1 teaspoon ketchup

 1/2 teaspoon steak sauce

 Turn the patties and cook on the other side.

 When the patties are almost done; pour the gravy on top.

 Let simmer.  The gravy will start thickening up.

 Spoon the gravy on top of the steaks.

Then serve with some mashed potatoes and peas.
