I don’t know about you, but cooler temps make me crave comfort food.  One of our family’s favorite meals is Poor Man’s Salisbury Steak.

The first time I had this recipe was at our Amish neighbor’s house.  They had us over for supper before they moved out west.  We are lucky to have several Amish neighbors around us and we live in a heavily Amish populated area.  We love living in the thick of Amish country.  On Wednesday and Sunday nights the “young folk” gather at a nearby home and it makes for our own little private parade because of the buggies decked out with lights.

Anyway, our neighbor didn’t give me the exact recipe for this Poor Man’s Salisbury Steak, but I was on the hunt for it after that night.  It took me a while to find one similar, but now we have it at least once a month and my husband usually requests it for his birthday meal.

It’s pretty easy to whip up.  The longest part is the baking process, but your family or guest will think you slaved all day on it!  Paired with mashed potatoes topped with the savory gravy, this is the epitome of comfort food!

Poor Man’s Salisbury Steak

You will need:

1 pound ground beef

1 egg, beaten

1/2 Cup corn flakes

2 Tablespoons ketchup

2 Tablespoons water

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 Cup chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 can mushroom soup+ 1 can water

Combine all ingredients EXCEPT soup and water together.  Mix well.  Form into patties and roll lightly in flour.

Heat vegetable oil in pan and brown patties lightly, about 2 minutes on each side.  Remove to a casserole dish.

Mix one can of cream of mushroom and one can of water together and pour over patties.

Bake in covered dish at 350 degrees for one hour.

Serve with mashed potatoes topped with gravy (optional).

So, the next time you get a hankerin’ for some good ole fashion comfort food, whip up some Poor Man’s Salisbury Steak!
