Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 can French onion soup
  • 1 packet lower-sodium brown gravy mix (I use McCormick)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Here's how you make it:

  1. Combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix until just combined. Shape into four to five, depending on size, loosely packed patties.
  2. Add a little olive oil to a skillet and heat. Add patties and cook until browned on one side. Flip them over and continue to cook until they're almost done. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add the onions and mushrooms, if using, to the skillet and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the French onion soup, gravy mix, water and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  5. Put the meat patties back on top. Spoon the sauce over them and continue to cook until meat is cooked through.
  6. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles.

We call it Salisbury steak and it's pretty close to this recipe except I put bread crumbs and egg in mine so they don't fall apart.
Donna John
Yes, I've heard this type of recipe called salisbury steak, too. I will have to research the differences. I put breadcrumbs in my meatloaf, but not these. They stay together and have more of a steak feel. Would love if you would share your Salisbury steak recipe here! Heather Holter

I can't because it's Betty Crocker's recipe. Lol I grew up making Betty Crocker recipes because that's what my mom made. I still make them using a good old fashioned cookbook. Here's the link tho. I serve with mashed potatoes and corn.
