My fiancée was texting one of her best friends the other night, who told her she’d recently made salisbury steak for dinner. Huh. Salisbury steak. I hadn’t thought of Salisbury steak in years, and the only time I’d really had it was from a frozen microwaveable tray when I was a kid. It didn’t even occur to me that people made Salisbury steak from scratch. But when you think about it, Salisbury steak is essentially just hamburger patties in brown gravy, sometimes with mushrooms. I thought, “Wait. Why am I not making this too?”
A few nights later I went to the store, grabbed some ground beef, some mushrooms, and a jar (yes, a jar) of brown gravy and slapped dinner together in under an hour. And guess what? It was freakin’ delicious.

beef stroganoff, swiss steak, chicken fried steak, ribeye steak...
Just need to update it with a cricket flour extender.
Delicious and you can make more for less.
isnt it nothing more than a flattened meatball?

Of course they’ll have to change the name to Harare Steak.
Exactly what I (househusband) do. Couple times a month. Lots of sodium, yes. But is palatable, unlike some of my "healthy" dishes.
Good meatballs have more than just ground beef and a few spices.
Interesting historical trivia: Sir Thomas Montagu, 4th Earl of Salisbury, was killed by a cannonball in 1428. For some reason I always remember that when we have Salisbury steak.
onions too
Back in college ( 1970’s ) I used to eat regularly except it came frozen in a plastic pouch which you heated up in a pot of boiling water. I think Banquet was the company that made them.
Try adding Onion soup mix
I sometimes buy rare roast beast at the deli and put it in a skillet with some water and beef bullion. Thicken and serve on toast
use oatmeal instead of bread crumbs to make it gluten free.
I also think the texture is better
Rough way to go. Then again, maybe it was quick.

I cook a similar comfort meal for my family of 5. I call it 10 Minute Thanksgiving. I buy 1 pound of shaved low salt turkey, a box of Stove Top Sage Stuffing, a large packet of instant mashed potatoes, a can of sweet corn, a can or cut green beans, a jar of turkey gravy, and a can of cranberry sauce. 10 minutes on the stove (5 burners) and 45 seconds microwaving the turkey and we have a Thanksgiving meal for 5 of us for under $20.00 and my family loves it.
