Basic Salisbury Steaks Recipe

Basic Salisbury Steaks Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can water

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, and onion soup mix. Mix well and shape into 6 oblong patties.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the golden mushroom soup and water. Pour this mixture over the patties in the skillet.
  4. Carefully turn the patties to coat them in the soup liquid.
  5. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook the patties for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are firm, hot, and grey in the center. The internal temperature should reach 160F (70C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.

Recipe Tip: You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef if preferred.

We all LOVED this! I used a little more than 1 pound of ground beef and got 5 patties out of the recipe. Also, I doubled the sauce, but only used 1/2 the water b/c we wanted the sauce to be on the thicker side. I had an 8oz. pkg. of sliced mushrooms to use up, so I cooked them and added them, which was a wonderful addition. I lightened this up a bit by using whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs, extra lean ground beef and Healthy Request Golden Mushroom Soup. This was very flavorful and comforting for a chilly fall day. I will def be making this again and again~YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)

Great recipe. Followed the recipe with the following minor changes. Did not fry the meat patties, smothered 1/2 of the soup mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker, set the raw patties on top & poured the rest of the soup mixture on top of the patties and spooned it over them, so they can be covered. Added few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture and some to the sauce. Also added 2 cups of sliced baby bella mushrooms to the sauce mixture. Cooked it on high for 3 hours. Next time, might cut the dried onion soup to 3/4 packet, as was a bit salty. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

made this last night and it came out really good. Didn't remind me of the old TV dinner style ones from my childhood, but was more like a diner style. The only changes I made were subbing in cream of mushroom soup since I couldn't find the golden variety and I added about 4-5 shakes of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture and let it sit, covered, for about 20 minutes before forming into patties. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes and didn't have any leftovers, even my picky 7 year old said to add it to the rotation.

I've been looking at this recipe for a month. I've had such a taste for Salisbury steak. I remember having it as a kid. My kids didn't like mushrooms, so I never made it. Well, my now 30yr old son ate it up! My husband and I loved it too! After reading some reviews I cooked the meat on a bed of onions and mushrooms. I had beefy onion mix so I used that, and I used milk instead of water in sauce. This is a KEEPER!! Thank you so much for sharing! So easy & delicious!!

This was super tasty. I did sauté some onions and mushrooms to add to the sauce. I also added a couple tablespoons of A1 and soy sauce to balance the cream of mushroom soup. I also used milk instead of water. So good and the family loved it.

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great. I used the steak recipe but added 1tbs ketchup, 1/8 tsp ground mustard, and about 4 dashes of Worcestershire. Then pattied and put in the pan and browned each side. I made the gravy from lipton box soup. I melted 2 tbs butter and then added 2 tbs flour slowly and let cook for a minute or two over med high heat.. I then added 3 cups beef broth slowly until smooth (whisking constantly). Let it heat up a bit then whisked in 2 packets of the soup mix. turned the heat up to high and brought it to a boils whisking often. Once it came to a boil, I turned the heat down to medium and let simmer uncovered until it thickened. I sauteed some onions and mushrooms in a pan and placed them aside. I placed the patties in a foiled baking dish and covered with the onions and mushrooms then added the gravy mixture on top and covered the dish with more foil then placed in a pre- heated oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Served it over homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious.

Very easy recipe and delicious results. Did a 50/50 mix of water/milk to the soup and sautéed fresh mushrooms while frying the patties. Served with mashed pots and sweet corn. Great comfort food. A keeper!!

this recipe was delicious! made it just as the directions said (with the exception of adding my own mushrooms sautéed with a little garlic). I usually make a much more fancy and complex salsbury steak, that takes much longer than this recipe. frankly, this one was almost as delicious as my usual recipe. I think i may make this one from now on due to the simplicity of it. Note: if you look at the photos, all of the photos have a much darker gravy than one particular photo (mine). I think this was because I used a very lean ground beef, so there wasn't a lot of grease. this is one of very few recipes that call for ground beef that I actually think a higher fat content may make for a better meal/gravy.... although it still tasted amazing! thank you for the easy recipe and the full tummies!

I had to make changes because of my food allergies. I used portabello mushroom soup & brown gravy mix for the sauce (squirt in a dollop of minced garlic). Cooked the brown gravy in the microwave first before pouring over patties. Poured some of the mushroom soup in with the burger mix & also added almost liquified onion (run it in the blender since my bf hates chunks of onion but likes onion flavor & chopping onions sucks).

Good recipe. I added cumin, garlic salt, Worcester sauce, black pepper to the meat mixture to add more flavor. I cut the water in half on the soup mixture.

Great recipe. Going to try substituting milk for water next time for a creamier gravy.

I made this as it is written. Awesome! I thought about modifications for the gravy part I could do for the future. The beef was perfect as it is written. Well Done!
