Salisbury Steak Recipe

Salisbury Steak covered in a super flavorful gravy loaded with sliced mushrooms and served over mashed potatoes makes a filling and delicious meal.

Salisbury Steak is one of my favorite beef dinners because it is such an economical way to eat red meat.

The problem with Salisbury Steak is sometimes the patties are dry, tough, and flavorless.

This recipe includes potato flakes which help keep the steaks tender and moist. The potato flakes are first reconstituted with milk and then added to the ground beef mixture.

A packet of onion soup mix really gives the Salisbury Steaks an amazing flavor, and with so little effort. Part of the packet gets mixed in with the ground beef and the rest helps flavor the gravy.

  1. No instant potatoes in the house and town is 30 minutes away. I substituted crushed club crackers. Otherwise, I stayed with the recipe. It was excellent and received positive reviews at the table. This recipe is a keeper. This is my first review of a recipe. I was always irritated at those that say they “substituted” any ingredient. Never say never.

    I made this last night and didn’t change a thing other than I added some already cooked cabbage to my vegetables! This recipe was fantastic, my boyfriend absolutely loved it and he’s usually the one that cooks!! (:
    Thanks so much!

    1. You could try beef bouillon cube mashed up mix with dry onion flakes and a little garlic powder
