#7 Salisbury Steak

Does anyone else find it weird that I am nearly fifty years old, love to cook, and yet have never made such a traditional meal as Salisbury Steak? I love Salisbury Steak, but have never ever cooked it myself. I just think that's weird.  So, when my favorite tv cook, Food Network's Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond) made her version of the classic meal on her wonderful Saturday morning show I thought, "It's time to give it a try."

Once again, I am not going to post the recipe because the "All Rights Reserved" statement right at the top of the downloaded recipe scares me.  Maybe someone can tell me whether it is okay to include the actual recipe here, as long as I credit Mrs. Drummond.  In the meantime, simply go to the Food Network site, click on Pioneer Woman, and find the Salisbury Steak recipe. I did make one change to the recipe:  I added mushrooms.

By the way, my seven year old grandson, Austin, has decided that he is my official food critic.  After declaring one of my previous recipes as "the best thing he has ever eaten," he did offer one suggestion for my attempt at Salisbury Steak.  He thinks it could do without the onions.  But, he did eat a lot of the onions before realizing they were there and, "you know I don't like onions."  Overall, from all three grandkids, and my son:  four pretty empty plates, a "it was so good" from Connor, and no leftovers for my daughter-in-law when she got home from work.  So, all-in-all, I'd say my first attempt at the classic Salisbury Steak was a great big yummo!  Thank you Mrs. Pioneer Woman!
