Hello bloggers! First of all, thank you to everyone who visits my blog! I love this new way to share and try new recipes and I hope that you find it useful.
It's been a couple days since I've updated and that is due to late work nights, left overs and school.
On Wednesday night, I made fresh simple Salisbury steaks with rice and gravy. Previous to this recipe, Shannon and I had always purchased the frozen Banquet family pack of Salisbury steaks and added whatever side we wanted. It was a cheap and easy meal that we could make on a whim. Well the idea of those frozen dinners seem to give Shannon and I the creeps sometimes. All of the preservatives and things that we don't know is in there. And there is always the mystery meat scare. So I decided to try a recipe that we could make for cheap AND know exactly what we are eating.
So here it is...slightly modified as aways, but always good!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 lbs of ground beef (we use 85/15)
- 2 packs of brown gravy mix
- 2 cups hot water
- 1/2 cup room temp water
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 1/4 tsp of onion powder
- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, 1 package brown gravy mix, 1/2 cup water, onion, onion powder and garlic powder. Shape into 4 patties and place in pan at least 1 inch deep. Broil in oven turning to brown on both sides.
Place in oven again and turn heat to 450 degrees (425 degrees for glass). When gravy begins to boil, leave in oven until it thickens a little, about 10 minutes, depending on pan size. Makes 4 servings.
We served this dish over brown rice and had salad for our veggie. It would be good with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or any other side you'd prefer.
Make it healthier:
Use 1 1/4lb ground white meat turkey instead of ground beef and save yourself 43 calories, 10 grams of fat, and add 12 grams of protein!
