Comfort Food Salisbury Steak

I got this out of a Campbells Soup Cookbook many many years ago, and have adapted it a bit to make it even yummier. Easy to make, Inexpensive, and Comforting! One of my husband's favorites. I make this at least once a week for the last thirty years. Serve with some homemade mashed potatoes.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground chuck
• 12  saltine crackers, crushed
• 1  teaspoon parsley flakes
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1  egg
• 1⁄8 cup milk
• 2 (10 1/2ounce) cans  cream of mushroom soup
• 2  tablespoons butter (can use olive oil)

Directions

1. Mix meat with crackers, milk, parsley flakes, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and egg. This is easiest to mix by hand.
2. Form into large patties. (I make three of this, but you could make four.).
3. Heat butter or oil in large skillet over medium heat.
4. Then add meat and brown on both sides; drain.
5. Smear cream of mushroom soup all over the tops and sides of the meat patties until you use it all.
6. Cover tightly and simmer on med-low heat for 30 minutes, flipping patties now and then and spooning soup back over, until no longer pink in the center.
