The Best old fashioned salisbury steak recipe

I have been making this old fashioned Salisbury steak recipe for years, and it is one of those meals that always gets a happy response from my family. The kids love the savory gravy and tender patties, and my husband says it reminds him of dinners his mom used to make. It is a great choice for a weeknight dinner because it comes together with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. The lean ground beef provides a good amount of protein, and when served with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, it makes a balanced and satisfying meal.
