Easy Salisbury Steak

Step 1

Mix: In a medium-sized bowl, use your hands to thoroughly combine 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons onion dip mix, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Take care not to overwork the mixture.

Step 2

Form steaks: Divide mixture into six equal portions and form each portion into an oval-sized patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Cook: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add the patties in a single layer to the pan. Allow them to brown for about 5 minutes. Once browned, flip, and allow the other side to brown for 3-4 minutes. Note: they do not need to be cooked through; you just want a nice sear on both sides.

Step 4

Mix sauce: In a small bowl, stir together 22 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup red wine, and 1/4 cup beef broth.

Step 5

Add gravy: Cover the patties with the mushroom soup mixture.

Step 6

Finish cooking: Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Turn patties, spoon gravy on top of steaks to once again cover, and allow to simmer for another 10 minutes. If gravy is too thick, stir in more beef broth until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Serve: When you're ready to eat, serve with mashed potatoes and a veggie, if desired, and be sure to spoon extra gravy over everything.
