0Today’s guest post is from Loy. Her blog is called From Grandma Loy’s Kitchen! After exchanging emails with Loy, I learned that she cooks a lot like me. She has been preparing make-ahead meals for her family and friends for the last 40 years. I can’t wait to share more of her recipes! Today, she’s sharing her Salisbury Steak with “Eat Your Veggies” Gravy!
This is an easy and economical dish. There is a bit of chopping, but if it is done ahead; the dish comes together in less than 30 min. I chop and cook the vegetables a day or two ahead, and sometimes mix the ground beef and additions the night before.
The Salisbury Steak recipe is my own, and the gravy is one that I have been making since my children were small. It was a way to get a few more veggies into them. Now it works with my hubby. If one has a child (or a husband) that would resist because they saw the veggies, the gravy can be run through a blender to make the veggies “disappear.” Some sliced fresh mushrooms added to the vegetable mix is very nice if people like them. Can’t get mushrooms past my hubby unless I do the blender thing.
Salisbury Steak with “Eat Your Veggies” Gravy
Salisbury Steak Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef, I use 15 or 20%
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 T. Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 t. garlic powder
- 1 t. seasoned salt
- 1/3 c. flour
- salt and pepper
Directions
Place ground beef in a bowl. Mix egg and Worcestershire Sauce together. Mix into ground beef. Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and seasoned salt. Mix gently into ground beef. Shape into 6 equal size patties, about 4 inches across. Place flour in a pie pan. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Dip patties into flour coating each side. Set patties aside on a rack or waxed paper. Use remaining flour in the gravy. Heat a large skillet until hot. Add patties and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn patties and cook 5 to 8 more minutes until done. Remove patties and keep warm. Drain any fat from skillet and reserve 2 T.

Hi Jane, I so appreciate that you shared my recipe. To be featured on your blog is very exciting for me as a new blogger. I have to say that my photos look a lot better on your blog than they do on mine. Have a great weekend.
Hi Loy!
It is my pleasure to have you as a guest blogger!
I have not even thought about Salisbury steak since I was a kid. And I never had it homemade. Only from the good ole Encore TV dinners. This recipe looks great and totally a kid friendly meal. I bet it freezes up nice too. Which is always a bonus for me. I am kinda a freezer freak
Thanks for sharing it.
This looks tasty! How would you freeze it? And how would you reheat it? Thanks in advance!
I would place the cooked meat and gravy in a freezable container and cool it completely in the refrigerator. Then label and freeze.
To reheat: I would defrost it in the microwave and reheat it at 50-60% power until heated through.
