Old-Fashioned, But NEVER Outdated
In my house, I constantly battle with time – and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for all the mommies. I know they say you have the same 24 hours as Beyonce but it doesn’t always feel that way…
Between 3 kids, a husband who travels a lot for work, and all the craziness, sometimes I struggle trying to find time for cooking. If you want some fairly quick and easy Southern comfort food for your dinner, this Salisbury steak recipe is a good choice. It comes with a delicious gravy and yummy caramelized onions, and you can have all of it ready in an hour or less.
Think of Salisbury steak as a really fancied up version of hamburger steak. (Something very similar to this was one of Mother’s midweek go-to main courses, when I was growing up, and I have continued the tradition.) You’ll often see some version of this in frozen TV dinners and the like, but don’t be fooled: None of that mass-produced, store-bought stuff can hold a candle to this.
Make sure you don’t rush the onions or overcrowd the pan when you are browning the patties, and you should have no trouble at all with this recipe. I enjoy a rich gravy, so I went with beef broth instead of the water and bouillon granules, but I’m sure it will turn out delicious either way!
Note also that you don’t have to go with the ultra-ultra lean ground beef here; actually, you want a fat content between 15-20% to give proper flavor to the onions and gravy. I think that this dish goes beautifully with some mashed potatoes and maybe a small green salad on the side. Enjoy!
