- Yields:
-
2-4 hamburger steak patties
- Serves:
- 2-3
ingredients
- ground beef (can use lean ground round)
- 1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup water (1/2 to 1 cup) or 1 cup milk (1/2 to 1 cup)
- 1 (1 ounce) package brown gravy mix (packet size varies)
directions
- Dice onion and add to the ground beef. (If using onion soup mix, blend well in ground beef.).
- Mix and form into patties.
- Fry the patties in skillet on medium heat until cooked to your liking.
- I usually fry until they are medium-well to well done.
- While patties are cooking, mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 to 1 cup water or milk, and brown gravy packet/mix in a bowl, stirring well.
- After patties are browned and ready, add the soup mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to simmer; spread the mixture over the patties and turn them once or twice as the mixture warms.
- Stir mixture occasionally.
- Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until gravy is good and hot.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, your choice of veggies, a good salad, hot rolls or bread, and a cold glass of iced tea.
- Of course, this recipe can be doubled. Serving size depends on how hungry your family or company is! ;).
- Kind of a "blue-plate" special!

This was SO good, my favorite salisbury steak recipe by far. I put 1/2 a package dried onion soup in with the burger, and the rest in with the sauce. After browing the patties, I removed them then fried 1/2 lb sliced mushrooms in the drippings plus a bit of butter. (My ground beef was very lean.) I added the rest of the ingredients, simmered until thick, then returned the patties to the pan. I then topped each patty with a slice of colby cheese which finished it perfectly! I served on buttered noodles, but I think potatoes would go better with the gravy. All 3 of my kids enjoyed it too. -
My husband said that if this was/were on a menu in a restaurant he would order it every time! I did use 1 package of onion soup mix and I did add a jar of sliced mushrooms to the gravy. Served with noodles, steamed broccoli, and pickled baby beets. Thank you for a very good recipe. It is a "keeper". -
So easy to make and with such few ingredients it is just absolutely amazing! My kids love it and it also serves great with mushrooms and onions added. Must try.

On 6/29/10, I made exactly what Michelles3boys's was making for her dinner( Well, I actually stole her idea :) ).I took her suggestion and added an egg ,then added 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. I also used the onion soup mix.Other than those changes, the recipe was made as written. And if you are searching for " comfort food " that is quick,easy, and tastes good then your search is over. This will be made more times than you can imagine. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) " -
Easy recipe for simple comfort food. I used onion soup mix in the ground beef and probably more than 1 cup of water in my gravy. The meal was tasty, and we chose to ladle our gravy over buttered egg noodles. Roasted green beans were a nice side.

Yummy! I used 2 lbs of ground beef and 1 packet of onion soup mix in the meat. For the gravy I used 2 bullion cubes and 1 can of water instead of the gravy mix. It came out awesome! Served with mashed potatoes and corn. -
I really enjoyed this hamburger steak. The only thing different I did was use onion powder instead of onions (my kids don't like onions). I made rice as a side, and the gravy was sooo good poured over it. This recipe has a permanent place in my cookbook. *Update* The last time I made this I mixed 1 egg and 1/2 cup of crushed saltine crackers with the ground beef. It made the hamburger steak very tender. I also used cream of chicken soup (because that's what I had on hand), and it was wonderful! You might want to use the lower sodium soup, because the gravy is pretty salty. Thanks again for your great recipe! -
I had a pound of ground beef to use up and this recipe sounded good. It was very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written. I used the onion soup mix instead of onions and I used a cup of water. Everyone enjoyed them. -
This was total comfort food at it's best. Instead of using an onion, I substituted minced onions in the ground beef. Otherwise followed the recipe as written. Very delicious and came together quickly which is a huge plus. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Most excellent way to use up hamburger meat. My dear husband came home and when he saw what I had on the table ready for him he just filled his plate to the max. He ate til he was stuffed. He loved this recipe and said I needed to make this more often and than stumbled to the sofa for a nap. I made cream potatoes and green beans and garlic toast to serve with this dish. I used Knorr classic brown gravy pack and I put the onion in the gravy instead of the meat. It was delicious! I have been told to make again so its a keeper! :) Thanks for sharing your recipe mysonshine!

Cooking and baking for my family is something I really enjoy. Besides cooking and baking, I like to collect cookbooks, especially those with good, down-home country cooking recipes, the telephone pioneer cookbooks and church/school fundraiser cookbooks. I found Recipezaar?twelve?years?ago and now I use it more than any of my other cookbooks. Oh yes, I love Recipezaar! Everyone sharing recipes from all over the World...what a wonderful way to connect with one another!
