Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
⅓ cup bread crumbs
1 small onion
1 slightly beaten egg
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups prepared brown gravy

Instructions

Chop 1 small onion into small pieces.
In a large bowl, mix 1 pound ground beef, ⅓ cup bread crumbs, onion, 1 slightly beaten egg, and 2 tablespoons water; shape into 4 patties, each about ½ inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add patties. Cook 5 minutes and turn over. Cook 5 more minutes until browned on both sides. Drain off any fat.
Add 2 cups prepared brown gravy and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until patties are cooked to desired doneness.

Notes

This recipe is a Campbell’s original and is a better alternative to frozen Salisbury steak options. The patties freeze well either raw or cooked. To freeze, scale the recipe as preferred, then freeze the patties individually on a cookie sheet for several hours. Once frozen, combine in a freezer container and label with date and the appropriate cooking instructions for raw or frozen.

This recipe can be dressed up with sautéed onions and/or mushrooms—just sauté in butter and add to the pan with the brown gravy.
