Salisbury Steak

This supper reminds me of  back in the day simple suppers. Gathered around a stainless steel table with a colorful top and chatting about school, work and crazy friends like Eddie Haskell.

If you have made a pot of my French Onion Soup and have just a cup or so left it will be perfect for this dish. You can add sliced mushrooms as a component for this recipe and saute them prior to adding the sauce.

• 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp. corn starch
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
• 3 tbsp. ketchup
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp. onion - finely minced
• 1 clove garlic - finely minced
• 1 cup left over french onion soup (or buy a can of onion soup)
• salt and pepper to taste

1. In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, egg and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Shape into oval patties.
3. In a separate bowl combine the ketchup, water, Worcestershire and the dry mustard to form a sauce*.
4. In a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat add the beef patties.
5. Fry on either side until you get a nice crispy brown color.
6. Remove the patties from the heat to an awaiting plate.
7. To the skillet add the onion soup along with the sauce*.
8. Cook for approximately 3 minutes and then add the patties back into the pan.
9. Continue to cook covered for about 20-25 minutes until all of the flavors develop.
