TBT-Salisbury Steak

It's a TBT, otherwise known as Throwback Thursday! 

I don't know about you, but I remember the iconic TV dinners, and this is a classic one. 

Updated, it's leaner, more flavorful, and it really is a quick weeknight meal. 

But, hey! I wouldn't mind having this meal with company either, it's that good'

My family loves this meal...

Who wouldn't love a delicious seasoned patty, covered in a luscious onion gravy WITH mashed potatoes of course?!

And no, there isn't a can of soup used here folks.

Okay, let's do this!

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp of Garlic Powder

1 tbsn Worcestershire Sauce

1tbsn ketchup

1/4 cup of dry Bread Crumbs

2 Tablespoons of Butter

1  medium Onion, peeled, halved and sliced

2 cups of Water

2 teaspoons of Beef Bouillon Granules or 1 Knorr brand beef bouillon cube-I prefer Knorr

Opt: 2 tsp of cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsn of water (slurry)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the Beef, Black Pepper, Salt, Garlic Powder, Worcestershire Sauce, Bread Crumbs and kethchup. Combine using your clean hands or a spatula to mix together well.

Shape into 4 equal sized oblong patties.

Heat a skillet over medium heat for about a minute, and then add Butter.

Place meat patties in skillet and brown on both sides for about 4-5 minutes each. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add the sliced Onion into the skillet, right on top of the browned bits and using a wooden spoon or spatula stir them to coat in the butter and browned goodness.

Reduce the heat and cook the onions on medium-low heat until the onions turn translucent and slightly browned, this may take 15 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of warm water and the beef bouillon, stir well. Raise the heat back up to about medium and bring to a quick simmer.

Place the meat patties back in the pan. Cover slightly and Reduce the heat just a little and let simmer for about 15 more minutes. At this point I like to add the slurry, it adds body and makes the sauce silky-totally optional.

Remove from heat and serve warm with the sauce and onions on top.

Enjoy!
