Salisbury Steak My Way

Karen From Colorado's Note:

The only frozen dinner I have ever cared to eat was the Banquet Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and corn. I hate the potatoes (instant is just yuck), but do enjoy the rest of the meal so I decided to try to make my own. This is the results of my efforts and I must say, the taste is very close, but even better. This is cheap, easy and freezes very well. If you are going to freeze these then don't freeze them in the gravy. They are much better if the gravy is fresh. Be sure to cut the gravy ingredients if you are not using all the steaks. These can be frozen raw or already cooked.

I made this for my husband's and my anniversary. He didn't say what he wanted, so I felt like Salisbury steak. YUM! I only used 1 pound of meat (ground turkey), but forgot to adjust the other ingredients accordingly. I completely forgot the eggs (my son was being a little pill at the time), only halved the onion soup mix, the breadcrumbs and everything else. I used chicken stock with some added Worcestershire Sauce since I didn't have any beef stock. And, I added 8 oz of sliced crimini mushrooms. Following FoodJunkie's review, I also made the gravy and added the browned patties back to the pan to finish cooking. Fantastic with mashed potatoes! This is now my "go to" Salisbury steak recipe. Thank you so much!

We REALLY liked this!!! I have to admit though that I messed up the gravy and had to use a jar kind...Heinz Savory Beef I think it was. The patties themselves are great just as burgers too! Will make this again (hopefully without messing up the gravy next time lol). Thanks for posting!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! This was a huge hit with everyone in my family and we have now added it to our OAMC recipes. I make the patties in advance and just thaw, fry and make the gravy. They are great with mashed potatoes or mac and cheese! I did the recipe as stated except I add 1/2 a packet of onion soup mix to the gravy too.
