My experiences with Salisbury Steak as a child were only in the school lunch room. I can't remember ever having it at home. But when Taste of Home featured it in it's "Cooking for One or Two" section, they made it look so nice, I just had to give it a try. This is a scaled down recipe and only makes enough for two people. It can easily be doubled (tripled, etc.) for more people. It's fast, easy, and comfortingly meaty.
Salisbury Steak for Two*
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 envelope brown gravy mix (divided)
1 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
In a bowl, whisk egg and milk. Stir in bread crumbs, 1 tbsp gravy mix, and onion. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. Shape into two patties about 3/4 inch thick. Broil 3-4 inches from heat for 6-7 minutes on each side until meat is no longer pink and temp is 160.
Add water and mustard to remaining gravy mix, mix well and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, server over patties.
(I like using panko, which are Japanese style bread crumbs in this recipe. They give the patties a little crispyness. I buy Sunluck Panko, it's in the same section as regular bread crumbs at my grocery store.)
