Salisbury Steak

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off for the past few days.  Between work, last minute Christmas shopping, and preparing to head out of town for Christmas, I’ve barely had time to stop and catch my breath.  Thankfully, I found this great quick dinner recipe over at Family Meal Plan.  You’ll need these ingredients:

• 1  can  of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 pound of lean ground beef
• 1/3 cup of dry bread crumbs
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil
• 1 .5 cups of sliced mushrooms

Start by mixing 1/4 of the soup, the ground beef, the bread crumbs, the chopped onion and the beaten egg in a large mixing bowl. It might be a little messy, but I found that the best way was to knead it all together with my bare hands.  Once it is well mixed, shape it firmly into about 6 patties.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the patties to the skillet.  Cook the patties long enough to just brown them on each side.  Remove them from the skillet and keep them on a plate nearby.  Drain away the fat from the skillet, return it to the stove, and combine the remianing soup and mushrooms.  Once the soup is boiling, return patties to skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes (or until patties are cooked all the way through) while stirring the sauce occasionally.

This meal will go great with some of the sides that you stocked up on after reading my post on planning ahead and should serve 2-4 people, depending on how hungry you are.  You’d better fill your plate early, because this is a tasty recipe and it will go fast!

Enjoy!
