After making this recipe I will never go back to the Frozen Salisbury Steaks meal again.  It’s not hard to make, the longest part is the gravy thicken up, and depends on how thick you enjoy it. 

I used 80% lean 20% fat ground beef for this recipe because it needs a little bit of fat for the juices. The lowest lean-to-fat I would go is 85% lean to 15% fat.

The flavors in the mushroom brown sauce and ground meat are delicious.  This Homemade Salisbury Steak Recipes is a comfort meal that I like to make on a Sunday and have leftovers for Monday.  It’s that Delicious!
