Salisbury Steak

Dianne Clewien's Note:

I got this from a old Mennonite Cookbook that was passed on to me by my late mother in law. I tweaked it just a bit to had more flavor. This is as close to a perfect salisbury steak as I have ever eaten. It has an onion flavor all through it with out having the texture of onions. My grandchildren just loved it.

This was so good and simple. I doubled this as well. I was feeding 3 hungry guys. The only difference was that my breadcrumbs were seasoned. Served with Mashed Potatoes and corn. Thanks for the great recipe. It will be a regular in our house.

I doubled this recipe for my son and his friends that were having dinner with us, the boys gobbled this up and I really liked it too, at first I thought I really used much to much breadcrumbs but the finished product was a very good salsbury steak and a delicious gravy, I wanted to serve over mashed potatoes but the boys voted for noodles. This is great and very kid friendly.

This was wonderful! I used cube steak and increased the simmer time to 30 minutes. It turned out very tender and flavorful. I used homemade onion soup mix http://www.food.com/recipe/substitute-for-1-envelope-onion-soup-mix-186221 I just added it to the egg since I couldn't mix it in the beef.
Thanks for posting--I have a new stove top method for Salisbury steak now!
