This Homemade Salisbury Steak Recipe is a throwback to the 50’s TV dinner, but a million times better and still so easy. On the table in 30 minutes for a great family friendly dinner option!
My freezer is never without chicken breasts, thighs, and ground beef. Such staples for each weeknight dinners, including one of our favorite comfort meals – Salisbury Steak.
Most people know Salisbury Steak from the popular 50’s TV dinner, but you can easily make it at home and a million times better, of course!
What is Salisbury Steak?
Well, it’s not steak at all. It’s basically seasoned hamburger patties formed into the shape of steaks. But then they’re taken up 10 notches by cooking in a luscious gravy and served over mashed potatoes. No bun, unlike a hamburger sandwich. It gets its name from James Henry Salisbury who was a doctor during the Civil War and served the original version to the soldiers.
All you really need to know, though, is that Salisbury steak is a delicious way to use ground beef for a family-friendly, easy 30 minute meal!
Key Elements for Salisbury steak
- Breadcrumbs and an egg are needed to hold the patties together. You need breadcrumbs and an egg to act as a binder for the beef so they hold their shape while cooking.
- Brown the patties first, then use the drippings to flavor the gravy. Once the patties have been browned, you’ll transfer them to a plate, using the pan drippings for added flavor while making the gravy and cooking the mushrooms.
- Flour is used to thicken the sauce. Flour is added to the drippings, beef broth, and seasonings to create a rich and wonderful gravy!
- The partially cooked steaks are returned to the pan. Once the mushrooms are tender, the steak patties are returned to the pan, simmering in the gravy until cooked through.
Recipe Variations
- You can use ground turkey instead of beef. Traditionally this is an all-beef recipe, but you can use ground turkey and chicken stock, if you prefer.
- Onions are a great addition. Saute some onions along with the mushrooms for another layer of flavor.
- Turn these into meatballs! I’ve used this recipe for meatballs and then freeze them. Really great for last minute dinner!
Can I Freeze the Salisbury Steaks?
Yep! You can freeze uncooked steaks or cooked steaks along with the gravy, as follows:
- To Freeze Uncooked Steaks – place the steaks on a lined baking sheet in a single layer, then flash freeze for about 2 hours until solid. Transfer them to freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and proceed with the recipe as written.
- To Freeze Cooked Steaks – allow to cool completely, then freeze steaks in the gravy in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in a pan or in the oven until warmed all the way through.
What to serve with salisbury steak
This is pure stick-to-your-ribs old school comfort food with a lot of different options for side dishes. These are some of our favorites:
- Mashed Potatoes (the best!)
- Roasted Broccoli (a.k.a. Broccoli Crack!)
- Creamy Cornbread Casserole (so good!)
- Rice Pilaf (but not just any rice pilaf!)
With simple pantry ingredients and one pan, you’re on your way to an easy dinner that never disappoints!

Other Notes
This recipe turned out to be quite a surprise. I never thought it would be company worthy but believe me it is. The gravy was great on mashed potatoes
We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. Easy to make and thick flavorful gravy.
My husband and son love it. Not my thing but I make about once a month for them. They love extra gravy so I double the gravy recipe and also throw in one sliced onions when first cooking the Salisbury steak.
My grandson loves Salisbury steak… my husband hates it from the grocery store, processed and frozen… this recipe suits both of them!!
Great recipe!
I’ve been making this recipe for about 1 year, love it! But tonight I mixed in diced sautéed onions into the patty and added a can of cream of mushroom soup to the gravy and the extra flavor really blew me away! Everyone devoured it!
About to cook this again tonight
Just what my husband remembered from his childhood and just as delicious!!!
D’lish!!
This was excellent! I used gluten free panko bread crumbs and gluten free all purpose flour to have it be a dish I could enjoy! I will definitely be making it again!
Loved it and easy to make making it for a second time
I made half of this recipe for my husband and me. Delicious! We both loved it!
Delicious. Best Salisbury steak recipe I have ever used. Made this with deer meat and could not tell it was deer meat
This recipe is so good! I’ve made it for my husband & he couldn’t stop eating it! It’s his fav!
Such a good recipe! I didn’t have panko breadcrumbs so I used regular/plain. I also opted to use ground turkey. It was amazing!!!
Amazing!!!! Keeping this recipe. I had to add little more flour to thicken up my sauce. Fried up onions no mushrooms. Still amazing!!
I was eyeing frozen Salisbury Steak in the freezer section (needed something soft a few days after oral surgery) and thought “I wonder how hard this would be to make from scratch?” So glad I did! This was easy and so much better than I could have imagined. I will definitely be making this again.
We loved it!
I’ve made this recipe twice and everyone loves it.
Finally a Salisbury steak recipe that tastes like I remember. Even my finicky hubs loved it & had 2nds. Thank you!!! Making it again tonight with homemade beefy broth. I used boxed beef broth the first time. Wowzers! Even better the next day!
I grew up eating and loving salisbury steak tv dinners. As an adult who’s trying not to eat tv dinners, I found myself craving the flavor of the salisbury steak dinners without all the preservatives and ingredients I can’t pronounce. I decided to give this recipe a try and I could not be more excited!! This was so delicious and took me back to my younger days!! I will be making this all the time from now on. I doubled the recipe because I had high hopes and planned on freezing the left overs and it was plenty of gravy. Thank you so much for this recipe!!
Deliscious. Though I wish it had lots more gravy. Even my husband who says he doesn’t like Salisbury Steak decided to try it for dinner and liked it.
Simple but delectable dish! Our family loved this recipe!
I really liked this recipe. Much more than l expected to and my husband did too.
My husband and I love this recipe.
Highly recommended, I make this for my wife at least once a month
I’ve made this recipe several times. My family can’t get enough. My husband goes for seconds every time. Thanks for such an easy delicious recipe.
Whole family love this.
This definitely is a throwback to my childhood. I used a can of french onion soup (undiluted) and the rest of the beef broth to make the 1 1/2 cups. My husband was thrilled with dinner.
This was a simple and delicious dish. It will definitely be on my dinner menu rotation.
I came across this morning and I can’t wait to try it.. I have some hamburger that needs to be used up quickly. But I don’t have Worcestershire is there something I can substitute?
Yes, you could use soy sauce instead!
Amazing recipe. Very easy and delicious.
Very tasty, “old fashioned” staple growing up. I forgot how good and filling this is!
I found this recipe on Pinterest after my family requested Salisbury steak out of the blue one night. I had never made it, but it sounded so good, and this recipe made it look so easy. And it is! It’s truly in the table in 30-45 minutes and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. It’s a great week night or Sunday meal. Definitely a favorite and on the regular meal roster in our home, especially during football season!!
This is a great recipe! I doubled the “steak” part of the recipe and froze half for another dinner. I served with cauliflower mash and garlic parmesan Brussel sprouts. Really fast and yummy week night dinner!
Delicious, and easy!
Easy and tasty- it’s a regular part of our menu!
My husband wanted Salisbury steak for dinner. Never made it before and found this recipe. This was so easy to make and boy was it delicious!!!! I will totally be making this again! Thank you for the recipe.
Cooked this tonight with mashed potatoes, and my husband can’t stop raving about it. He said it’s the best he’s ever had. There’s leftovers so he has lunch for tomorrow, and he couldn’t be happier! Needless to say, this will be my go-to for Salisbury Steak. Thank you so much for a perfect recipe.
Going to make this tonight is the calories count 317 per Pattie
Can’t wait to try
Yep. Enjoy!
Loved this , very yummy.
Loved it !
Very tasty! Easy to prepare too.
Very flavorful!
This is a great recipe. I’ve cooked it at home also on the road in a Dutch oven. The people around us would always ask ” when is dinner ready” smells wonderful.
Yummy
We love this recipe and easy to throw together. I’ve added it as one of my regulars. Hubby hates mushrooms so I omitted them. Turned out perfect with the adjusted brown gravy.
I made this recipe. It was easy and it was quick. I added onions with my mushrooms and because of dietary restrictions I Used gluten-free flour instead of regular wheat flour. I also used chicken bone broth instead of beef to make my gravy. It came out wonderful and delicious. Thank you.
I have made this twice. It was delicious and easy.
I’m having it with your squash casserole. Thank you for your recipes.
Made this recipe several times..always great! I add some French onion soup to the broth.
This was the easiest and tastiest salisbury steak I’ve made. Added a little red wine and yummy!
I 3 timed the recipe, and so glad I did! It’s delicious! Thank you!
Made this recipe and got a resounding.Yes, from the family when asked if it just staying all rotation.
Very easy And tasty period I didn’t make a few change it though period I addedry onion soup. Mix to the meat mixture along with Worcestershire sauce .
Yummy recipe! Worked out really well. Was craving this and it was perfect! Thank you!
Loved this recipe simple to follow and the steaks have a very good taste. I will cook the Salisbury Steaks again
Making this one for a long time. Thanks for putting it out there. The only thing I do differently is coat each one in corn starch before if put them in the pan
This was a hit! My husband said to put it in the rotation.
We aren’t mushroom lovers, it was delicious without.
I’ve made this a few time now, following the recipe exactly as written. Absolutely delicious! My whole family loves it.
Loved it
Wow!? This recipe was amazing, easy and didn’t take long to prepare! It’s tasted better than any Salisbury steak I have ever had. The only thing I changed was doubling the gravy. Excellent recipe ?
A great way to elevate a humble pound of hamburger. I used Gluten Free flour to make the gravy and it turned out great!
Made this for very picky husband and he loved it !!
I had no idea what to make for my family this evening, so armed with the kitchen basics I made this recipe with my husband and it turned out well!!
I was skeptical because it’s so simple but this was AMAZING!! We made our own gravy, but the meat was *chefs kiss*. I’ve made it three times now and my kids who are picky eaters love it.
I am a picky and kind of a snobby foodie. This recipe was absolutely delicious! I dream t of it, after eating lol, that’s how good it is! I added sliced white onions to the gravy with mushrooms too. WOOOOOWWWWWWWW! Thank you!!!!!!
I’m trying this tonight! The video sealed my decision.
Made this tonight! My 78 yo picky mama and 24 yo grad student daughter loved it and so did I! Thank you.
It’s one of my go to recipes. Tweak it with more shrooms and some onion.
Husband said he could have had 5 more helpings easily. We used Italian bread crumbs and shredded 1/2 onion to the meat. I cooked the mushrooms on the side because my husband hates them, but it was delicious without them. Will definitely be putting this on our dinner rotation. My 13 year old said it was a better version of meatloaf, which we all love as well.
We loved it. My grandson is a picky eater ate it all up- of course without the mushrooms.
So delicious this receipe is a keeper!!!
I just posted a second ago about this recipe on the mashed potato page… My family loved the Salisbury steak, and the great sauce!
My husband and I loved this recipe
This is very good. Wasn’t sure about the Oregano, but it seemed to work. I used Better Than Bouillon and water in place of the stock.
Great with venison burger
Excellent. Only thing I did different was add a teaspoon of dehydrated minced onion to the meat.
Absolutely Great recipe.
OMG it’s delicious and I don’t usually like Salisbury.
Great recipe – moist and juicy steak and a very flavorful gravy. Truly only took 30 minutes from start to finish.
This is a five star recipe and so easy!
Perfect and easy! Super simple but delicious and feels special especially on week nights!
I loved it will be making again!
Delicious! Fast and easy!
Made for dinner tonight straight by the directions and it was SO good, real comfort food. Thanks for the recipe :)
I don’t have Worcestershire sauce,is there something I can use instead?
This recipe is simply fantastic. We all loved it so much, I’m making it again just 3 days later!
I Loved It!!! Definitely will be added to my family favorite recipes. Didn’t have Dijon mustard on hand, so I replaced with yellow mustard. Nor did have have the mushrooms, added onions instead, but this dish was still Amazing!!
Recipe was easy and turned out delicious. I will definitely recommend it to friends.
This turned out perfect! I doubled the recipe and there wasn’t much leftover! I did sauté the mushrooms before adding to the gravy! Perfect flavor!
How do you double the recipe? Do you double everything for the gravy and cook the steaks in all that gravy? Or do you follow the recipe two times? I want to make 8 steaks but cannot fit that many in my frying pan.
I’ve never made anything this good. Thank you so much for the recipe.
This recipe has hundreds of five star reviews for a reason! After I browned my hamburger, I cooked onions and mushrooms in the drippings, because I like them very done. Removed them and went on to the butter and flour step. Can’t wait to try more Amy recipes!
I am trying two matches of steaks in my frying pan. Then making the gravy in cooking the steaks in a stock pot
This was delicious
Made this for dinner tonight – family loved it!
Great recipe. I added onion and garlic powder to both the steaks and the gravy.. I used ground steak. It tasted amazing. The steaks were tender. My husband was pleased.
Wow! I’m so happy I made this! It was a family hit and I will definitely be adding this recipe to my monthly rotation! The gravy is delicious! The meat came out perfectly! 10/10 recommend!
Thank you! I had a craving and all ingredients on hand. Used frozen hamburger patties, seasoned them and followed recipe as written.
My husband and I really love this recipe and it is easy and quick.
Trying to teach my grandson how to make simple and delicious meals now that he is living on his own. This recipe is perfect!
This is so incredibly easy and delicious, I’ve made it a few times now. So happy I found this recipe.
Wonderful wonderful recipe! So easy and full of flavor. Steaks were so tender and we loved the gravy. Will make again and again!
Fantastic recipe! The gravy was perfect and the hamburger steak was tender and delicious. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Really like this recipe! It was easy to follow.
DELICIOUS!! I HAD TO MAKE IT AGAIN THE FOLLOWING NIGHT!
This turned out better than anticipated. I’ve always wanted to make this at home, and it was DELISH. WEill make again
Definitely will make this again!!!!!
Made this tonight, and it was a huge success! Will definitely be making it again.
Great weeknight dinner. I double the and add extra Worcestershire sauce. My family likes it served with buttered peas.
Loved this! Filled everything to the letter!
I’ve made this recipe quite a few times and it always turns out great.
I love this
Hands down the best salisbury steak I have ever had. I took the advice of adding onion to the mushroom step, and needed a little more flour for a thick gravy. But holy smoke – this blew my socks off so much that I am writing this review still seated at the dinner table empty plate in front of me. So simple, and the flavor for the effort is off the charts. 10/10
Love this recipe, so much better than just mince in gravy
LOVE THIS!!! My go to for comfort meal.. I add a packet of Lipton Onion soup to the meat mixture.
I adjusted slightly to make it gluten free and it was delicious!
I’ve made these twice now. The only thing I did different the second time, was take out the oregano. They are really good. I doubled the recipe and made 12 steaks.
HUGE hit with my family!! New favorite meal, thank you so so much!
Hands down my family’s new favorite recipe – we all loved it so much! No changes over here.
I have made this three times now. My very pick 13 year old son loves it and now asks me to make this dinner all the time. Great recipe!!
My husband rated this an 11 on a scale from 1-10. My son and I loved it as well. I served it over my award-winning (maybe someday) homemade mashed potatoes. Now we have to fight over who gets the leftover steak tomorrow LOL! Definitely going to be on the dinner rotation.
I made this recipe today it was so simple. The taste was amazing. On the list of make definitely make again.
I have made this recipe a few times now. My still picky teenage son loves it, even when he thinks he won’t. I rarely make the gravy and I use ground Turkey or chicken in place of beef. Each time it has turned out well with good flavor.
I made this tonight. It was excellent!
This was excellent! New favorite recipe over here – everyone loved it.
I just made this ,it was easy to follow your recipe, thank you Amy, mmm?
Yummy! Just like Mom used to make. If my husband hadn’t married me, he swears he would over this simple recipe. These are very yummy and now my go to mix of ingredients, forever.
If you’re in need of comfort food…THIS IS IT! I customized slightly by sautéing the mushrooms first. I also added a little minced onion to the ground beef mixture. Used 2 cups of beef broth because who does’t love more gravy. Soooo delicious. Served with baked potatoes and oven roasted carrots.
The best Salisbury steak ever! The gravy is so good I could drink it.
So good. Picky son loved it. Make it!
This is the closest recipe to frozen meals I have found. I guess that doesn’t sound like a compliment, but it is! Delicious!
I loved this recipe. Quick easy and full of flavor!! Getting ready to share it with my sister!!! Bon Apetít!!
Made this for lunch today. It’s very tasty and easy to make.
Delicious, not my 1960’s t.v.dinner entree. Thank you for a great recipe, there is even a little leftover for my husbands lunch tomorrow.
This recipe was so easy to make and so good..
I really like this recipe. It took me longer to make than stated, but that always seems to be the case. (Too many interruptions between the children and pets.) My daughter doesn’t like mushrooms, so we just used onion cooked with the steaks. It was delicious! Will be making it again soon!
Took me a bit longer than shown times but it was well worth it. My whole family loved it.
I made this last night for a group and it was a huge hit! I made a few, slight adjustments. Several asked for the recipe! It will be a definite “do again” recipe! Thank you
Delicious! I’ll just make more gravy next time. Yum! I may just double the whole recipe for the freezer.
I’m getting a little older and try to avoid eating out of cans as much as possible. In place of the beef stock I gently boiled one 8 oz. package of sliced regular mushrooms in 1 2/3 cups water for 10 minutes and added it in place of the stock and mushrooms. I made a few more changes but followed the basic recipe here. It was very good and wasn’t lacking in flavor. Thanks.
So delicious
Excellent!!!!!!!
Yummy!
Delicious!
Whole family loved it! They said they want it every week now. We used lean grass fed ground beef and the texture and flavor were fab.
We also used Heinz beef gravy in the jar as a shortcut (will try the recipe gravy next time) but followed everything else.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends.
Thank you for the great recipe.
I love this recipe so much I made this a lot in my life and this is the one that I have saved definitely the best!
First time making Salisbury steak ever. Very good
I made this recipe and it was fantastic! Flavorful, easy and prep to table was less than 30 minutes. Paired it with mashed potatoes and sweet peas.
Perfect recipe! Came out great and everyone loved it!
A staple in our household!
This recipe was sooo good, wish I had doubled it! This is a keeper and I will definitely be making it again! I’ve only ever had frozen Salisbury steak dinners you buy in the grocery store, this does not compare, doesn’t even come close at all! So tasty! Thanks for sharing it!
incredible flavor in this recipe! the only thing i did differently was use fresh onions that i caramelized as the patties browned. then i deglazed the pan with some leftover white wine in my fridge, because i wanted to use it up, and then also threw some fresh rosemary and thyme in the pan as the butter melted, because i also happened to have it in my fridge. i’m sure even without my additions that this recipe will delight you. it very easy to make, and i’m incredibly thankful for that. this recipe would be perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Made this recipe and was a great hit with my family,! This definitely on our favorite dish list
Utterly amazing!
Just like my Mom used to make!!! Love this recipe. Real “home made” right down to the gravy.
This recipe is amazing!! Clean plates from everyone over here.
This recipe is sooooo good!
Awesome! My family loved this!
This is a keeper! Will definitely make again!
I’ve made this recipe a couple of times now, but I keep having to make it bigger. Now, I make the steaks and gravy separately, put it all in a big casserole dish, and put it in the oven. 425 for 15-20 mins.
I plan on making my own tv dinners. Could anything be worse than Hungry Man? I will use this recipe, and recycle tv dinner trays. More later, I hope.
I made these yesterday for TV dinners, which we greatly enjoyed today! I used aluminum pie plates, with heavy-duty foil as dividers and to cover the top. Made yesterday, plated before simmering the patties in the gravy, put in the fridge, and reheated today in the oven (with a few small slits in the top foil). The sides were homemade mashed potatoes, with a pat of butter (gravy only on the steaks, but enough to dip into with the potatoes), broccoli and roasted corn (succotash would be fun), and homemade applesauce with cinnamon (so good heated!). I hope you enjoy as much as we did! One family member has been reminiscing about “TV dinners” lately. :D
Gotta tell ya, I’m a meat and potatoes man. If there is any meat dish that’s considered “comfort” it’s Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes. Sometimes I’ll add a lil sage ground pork to give it a lil bite, not much…just a about a quarter, if you will. I have to say, this is a great “MMMMMM” recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
My daughter & I loved this recipe! Made mashed potatoes & green beans with it.
Very good
I make this using deer burger and sub onions for mushrooms.
Delicious one of our favorite meals!
This turned out great!
This is the third time I’ve made the recipe! Everyone loved it!
I made this recipe for the first time today. I followed it exactly as written. Marvelous! My husband and I kept saying, “Mmmmm” during the meal until we had to stop and declare this recipe as #1 Salisbury Steak Recipe In the WORLD!” Delicious every single bite.
Mmmmm!
Delicious, I used ground turkey instead of beef, I didn’t have Dijon mustard but it was still good. The whole family loved it.
Love love love your recipes!
Perfect taste, perfect texture. Thoroughly delicious!!
Great recipe! 10/10.
We have made Salisbury Steak many times, but never quite hit the mark. This recipe has all the flavors we have been missing. This is my new go -to recipe!
I didn’t have any stock so I just used beef broth and it still came out great, so don’t fret.
This recipe was delicious, my son even said, Mom what did you do? And how did you make this? He’s 12 yrs old and a very picky eater. Me or him do not like eating gravy. Thank you! So pleased with this.
Absolutely delicious!
Very delicious
This was outstanding. So simple, so full of flavor. A new family favorite!
Great recipe. It’s going to be my go to ;) Thank you!
This was a hit! It’s in regular rotation now
Perfect. Excellent. Loved it. It is now on my dinner rotation list!
First time making Salisbury steak and this recipe was perfect! Adding this into my meal rotation!
This was 10 stars. GREAT recipe.
This will go in the rotation. Everyone liked it.
This was delicious
I made this recipe last night and i think my husband told me at least 4 times how good it was. It was very good and I will definitely make it again. I did add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the butter and oil when frying the patties and used beef bone broth. It was so easy and yummy!! Thank you for the recipe.
So easy to make, & so delicious! Definitely becoming one of my weekly meals for the family.
This was so delicious! The gravy was wonderful over mashed potatoes, just wish I had doubled it. Definitely a dish I will make again! The mustard, ketchup, & oregano really works well in the meat.
Really enjoyed this. It may be simple but really delicious, easy and quick.
Like the name says, this is an easy homemade Salisbury Steak recipe that came together quickly. I was actually craving mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes, and this hit the spot! It was really good as is, but I will likely “spice up” the steaks next time. Thanks for sharing such a good recipe!
This was very Good. I made a few alterations as there is mushroom allergies in my family so we left those out, added some minced garlic to the meat, and added a package of lipton beefy onion soup mix to the gravy. Oh My Word this was delicious and will definitely be making it more often. Served with mashed potatoes and some corn on the side. I’m feeding 8 people and they all loved it.
It’s always tough to make a large family happy at dinner but this one did the trick! It has even been requested now! Thank you!
Recipe was a hit! Everyone loved it
Made these last night for dinner (along with the recommended mash potatoe recipe). I sauteed a large yellow onion with the patties and then made the sauce with mushrooms. I consider myself a master home chef…cooking is a love of mine and I enjoy putting a good dinner on the table, whether comforting and warm or gourmet. This is one of the best comforting and warm dinner I’ve ever made. Highly, highly recommend both the salisbury steak and the mashed potatoes. I also served roasted carrots. Just so delicious and satisfying. Won rave reviews from all! Thank you.
This recipe is fabulous!!! So delicious and easy. Thank you!
This was the best Salisbury Steak we’ve ever had!!! Even better than eating at a Restaurant. This recipe is a keeper.
Fantastic! Made a double batch of this and my family absolutely loves it! Even w very picky 6 year old! I served w mashed potatoes and airfryer asparagus
Love the taste. Used powder steel cut oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. Turned out great.
This was my first time making Salisbury steak and OMG! It’s delicious! My 3 kids under 10 yrs old loved it and my hubby too. So easy to make but looks like a chef did it. It’s already been added to the meal rotation. Thanks for the great recipe.
This was so good, will make again! Yum!
This recipe was a BIG hit with the whole family. It will be a regular in our meal rotation.
Made exactly as written. So yummy and the family raved. Served w buttered egg noodles.
So delicious. I added sliced onions and used baby Bella mushrooms, I made extra gravy. The gravy is divine. My husband loved it too. We had it with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a yummy dinner salad. Thank you so much for this recipe. It is a keeper.
Very easy and very tasty
This is great! Flavor galore. I used seasoned bread crumbs and added the mushrooms> I would suggest a bit more beef broith for gravy, you’ll want more. It’s that good.
My husband and I loved the recipe! I cannot wait to make it again. It will definitely be in our meal rotation!
Fantastic. I omitted the onion powder and tossed in half of a very thinly sliced onions after taking out the steaks and prior to adding the flour. Once the onions were sauteed I put them with the steaks and continued as directed. Omitted the mushrooms too.
This is our family’s new favorite meal. I make it almost every week! The flavor is just fantastic. So easy. Freezes well too.
So yum. made for my parents. I’m 15. its so simple and easy!
Fantastic meal. No changes.
Just homemade heaven. Delicious!!
Recipe was very easy, good instruction for each step.
Flavor of the meat was crazy good and Patties stayed moist.
Will def keep this recipe .
Thanks for sharing
Followed the recipe with a few substitutions. Husband is gluten free and loves spices hence the small revisions. This recipe was a superb baseline. He loved hiss Sunday meal! Thx for sharing. ??
This was very good. I added a splash of red wine and used canned mushrooms, but otherwise followed the recipe.
80/20 beef good to use
Yummy! So good.
This was absolutely delicious! I added onions in the gravy and a pouch of Hidden Valley ranch powder to the beef mixture. The whole family enjoyed it (which is rare because I have some picky eaters!). Thank you for this!
Great meal, quick and simple, the entire family enjoyed.
This was so good!! Will definitely make it again!
This is my new favorite Salisbury Steak recipe, so delicious!! I did make a few adjustments. I cut the salt and oregano in half and doubled the mushrooms. It is so flavorful, a definite keeper!! This recipe would make a great mushroom and Swiss burger!
This has become a regular meal for us. We absolutely love it!
I love this recipe.
This was so delicious and easy to make!

I made this recipe tonight and two other times . It’s really good and even my picky husband loves it ! Thanks for sharing it with me .
Recipe was so easy and turned out great. I will definitely be making these again. I did season my hamburger a little more than it said but they would be good either way.
I used venison instead of beef this time. It was delicious! This has been one of my go to recipes for a while now. Venison is very lean though so I had to use a bit more butter to compensate for the lack of grease.
10 stars truthfully
New favorite recipe – whole family loved it so much!
I made this and really liked it. It came together really quick and we had left overs for the next day.
Took me back to the 1970s, when my mom would make us TV dinners. This was so good. My 11 year-old son even ate it. And he’s a picky eater.
Very easy and the family loved it.
This came out so good! Except for the beef, we had all the ingredients on hand (next time, add in some sliced onion). I actually didn’t make it, delegated to my husband. He was very pleased with the results, and kept saying, “It was so simple”. We used our cast-iron instead of the non-stick and made one error, cooking the patties until they were almost done rather than the slow simmer in the sauce but still very good. Served with mashed potatoes; I am not a fan but the perfect vehicle for this sauce. Copied and printing now to add to our recipe book for quick weeknight dinners.
This meal tastes like you spent hours cooking it!
I made this for Sunday dinner the sample taste was great!
My family loves this recipe! So easy to make. I serve mine with mashed potatos or rice. Either way…no leftovers!
Side note, if you decide to make 6 smaller patties, only cook for 2 mins on each side. Everything was perfect. I did however sautee minced onions in the drippings and butter before adding the flour and beef broth. Soooo good.
I rarely follow a recipe ingredient by ingredient b/c I always think I can ‘improve’ it. Not a fan of ketchup for anything but sweet potato fries, but decided to try this as written & it was spectacular. Nothing I would alter here. Exactly meet my expectations & I’m now in a food euphoria.
Thank you!
ALWAYS good! A reliable crowd-pleaser (or just for two with delicious leftovers to look forward to)!
1st time making this. I cheated & used 2 pkgs of gravy mix. I also used a store bought meatloaf mix for the meat. It was easy & delicious. Definitely make again.
Thai is was fantastic, is the317 calories for the whole recipe or for 1 serving?
Loved this recipe. Only thing I did different was I added half of an onion sliced along with the mushrooms. instead of onion powder
I made this recipe about three times already and everyone loves it. I omitted the salt because I added an envelope of the Lipton onion flavor to season the meat a long with the other ingredients. They are perfect and everyone is always looking for leftovers.
I made this for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. Haven’t had Salisbury Steak for years and it was from one of those frozen cardboard containers you buy at the grocery store. These were nothing like the old frozen cardboard and were delicious. We will definitely be making these again. Perfect for comfort food and on a child night. This only thing I changed was I used brown mustard bc I did not have Dijon on hand but will try that next time. Tnxs
Thanks for the great recipe. I enjoyed making a dish I grew up eating
Made this tonight!! Will definitely be making it again.. Was easy to mix up, cooked quickly and was very tasty!! I served it over noodles (hubbys favorite).
Thanks for this great recipe.
Made it exactly as recipe instructed. Very good. I’ll definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing!
Everyone loved it, took us back in time. Wonderful and easy.
Delicious! I did leave out the oregano and added some minced shallot to both the steaks and gravy. Other than that followed this recipe to the T and they came out perfect! Will definitely make these again and again. Simple and delicious. Thanks!
YES!!! My belly is full this recipe is delicious put us in a comatose state of pure savoury delight!
This was delicious! I loved that I had all the ingredients in the kitchen! I will double the gravy next time because it’s amazing! My family wants me to make it again!
You weren’t lying this is amazing !!
Holy crap, my husband and I are BLOWN away at how delicious this is!
Quick, easy and delicious!!!
I had everything except Ketchup !!!! I had to improvise last night by using BBQ sauce and a can of tomato sauce. I also added Lipton Onion soup mix and some more seasonings because I was worried it would. be to sweet. anyhow, it was fabulous. Next time I will for sure have ketchup
This was fantastic. Didn’t change anything!
My wife made this for dinner and it now my favorite meal ever.
This recipes was really a success. Thank you for sharing it.
I made this fast easy dinner and it was a hit! Even my mother in law loved it!
Made this along w/ roasted broccoli recipe. Was very good! One patty is beyond filling tho….next time I’ll have to make smaller patties or have 1/2 one. Very good meal!
Thank you for this! We have it every week. Easy and delicious!
My husband gave this Recipe top rated in our seven+ years of marriage!?
Salisbury steak was delicious and easy to make
I had never made Salisbury Steak before today. Easy and delicious recipe. We both loved it. It makes enough for dinner two! Thank you
I made this last night. So good!!! Turned out just as pictured!! My husband loved it.
This recipe was quick, ,easy, and the family loved it
This recipe is so good! The meat had a amazing flavor. Followed the directions exactly and served over mashed potatoes.
Next time you want to make gravy combine the flour, seasonings and milk/stock in a jar. Shake until blended, pour in the skillet. It will thicken and make lump free gravy.
I used Prime Rib burgers sold at Sam’s, I did not use the burger recipe but I did make the Mushroom Sauce, it was delicious. Grilled the burgers instead of pan frying, The Mushroom Sauce is delicious and easy to make.
I love this recipe so much! My family loves it too!
My kids and I love this recipe. I cheated and used Heinz home style beef gravy instead of making my own. I always mess it up and it never comes out right. It was a big hit in my house regardless.
Very good and easy!
I am so glad to have found this recipe, we love it.
Delicious! I doubled & added a can of Cream of Mushroom soup ?
I have not had this since I was a kid. It came out wonderful. Just like home. It is going on my favorites list
This simple to make recipe is just outstanding. It’s hard to believe these ingredients make such a delicious gravy, which can be made and used for other meat dishes. A real winner!
Very good!
Simple, but delicious!! Will def prepare this again (and again)! Husband loved it!
Great recipe! Teen approved!
Made this tonight for tea and it was so nice I made exactly as in the instructions and we had it with broccoli, cauliflower and garlic mashed definitely a keeper so added it to my favourite list. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
This was awesome
Very good recipe! My husband and two young boys loved it and I did too. Thank you so much!
With a couple of minor tweaks it is one our our favorites!! carmelized two large onions in butter, used French onion soup as I didn’t have Beef broth. threw in a couple of teaspoons of BTB Beef. keeper for sure!!!!
This is by far the BEST Salisbury Steak recipe ever. So good, in fact, we’re salivating over the leftovers right now!
This is Such a simple, down-home recipe ~ and Delicious!
I will cook this many more times ~We love it
This is the best EVER I usualy never leave a review but my family love’s this and they’re not hamburger fans. I’m making it again tonight. Thank you so much for an easy budget friendly recipe
Nice easy recipe. Left overs are great the next night.
Best Salisbury steak recipe I have had to date. Keeper for sure
You know it’s good when your teenage son gives you a hug because he liked it so much.
Fantastic recipe! I had to skip the Dijon mustard since I was out, and had to substitute homemade breadcrumbs for the panko (also out!) and it still turned out delicious! I doubled the recipe and we have lunches now too (yay!). I’m writing this one down in my recipe book!
This was just delicious, wonderful flavors. I didn’t change a thing . Family loved it. Will make again .
What a delicious and easy to prepare recipe.This is a Keeper!!!
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed these! I tried adding Worcestershire to the steaks as well and I think it threw off the binding of the egg. They crumbled a bit but still delicious!
Do you have to use mushrooms
Nope.
My wife loved it. I am a big fan of diners and would put up this recipe against any diner menu. Appreciate the easy-to-follow directions. A good hearty meal for a frigid February afternoon. No leftovers here.
My whole family LOVED this recipe!! It was so delicious even my younger children dug in.
This was easy and delicious. Might add some red wine next time
I added the wine! Very good.
Me: I made you a hearty dinner. (Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans.)
Him: That’s a lot of food.
Me: If you can’t finish it you can have it for lunch tomorrow.
Fifteen minutes later:
Me: You didn’t have to lick the plate clean. We have a dishwasher.
I made this recipe and it was easy and very good. Was enough for two meals for my husband and me. It reheated well and even tasted better the next day. Highly recommend this recipe. Keep the recipes coming!
Best recipe I’ve ever tried
Never made Salisbury steak and it was amazing! I grew up on those frozen nasty Salisbury steaks! My family thought I was a rock star with this meal!
I loved it! This is the best. Step by step is so easy. My husband thinks I hung the moon when I make this!! It’s easy, tasty, rehears well too . I’ve tried for years to make my own gravy . This helps you step by step !! I’ve made it like weekly since I discovered it !! Thank You ! 5 stars!!!
I’ve never commented or rated any recipe before. But this one deserves all the 5 star ratings. It’s absolute perfection & has become a household meal favorite!
My husband and i dont like mushrooms so i used onions caame out really great know onions dont have the same flavor as mushroom they turned out great
Delicious I have made this not only beef but also chicken. Husband loves it I have to make it every month thxu u!!!
I followed the instructions to basically a tee. I eyeball meat weights, etc.
It timed exactly, tasted great! Didn’t change a thing and probably the 1st online recipe I’ve tried that didn’t need a tweak.
Thank you Amy.
Spectacular!!! Such a food memory…. only better!! Thank you!
Delicious! The meat was very flavorful. I doubled the recipe and added juice of half of a small lemon, a little honey, garlic powder, and a about a 1/4 cup of heavy cream and the gravy was even more tasty!
This was one of the best Salisbury steak recipes I’ve tried.
It was a easy to follow will share with others
Everybody love this recipe, I thought the sauce was too watery. Next time I’ll add more flour. It was a big hit though
Hubby loved this recipe! Easy after work prep!
This recipe is amaaaazing. Going into the permanent dinner rotation at my house, thank you so much!
Wonderful Easy Delicious!! Will definitely make this again!!
This is the best Monday night meal, once you get your Mise en place together this comes together very quickly. This taste is very rich, like you cooked all day, instead of under an hour (if you are including the sides) this is easily a meal you will be glad you made.
Made it tonight exactly according to recipe , and we ate it up! Delicious .
A 5 Star recipe for sure!
-Super easy and delicious! This is the GO TO recipe at the farm!!
Fantastic recipe, my entire family loved it. Clean plate club!
I’ve made this before and the whole family loves it! Wondering if it could be made in a crockpot?
So delicious! Thought I’d overbrowned the meat but it just added flavor. Definitely a keeper!
Absolutely a fabulous recipe. My husband and I both loved it. Thank you for explaining everything in great detail. I made your mashed potatoes with the horseradish option to go with it and that was a hit. I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes in the future!!!!
My family really enjoyed.
This is a winner for our whole family, picky eater included! I doubled the Recipe and the only change was I used 16oz baby Bella mushrooms. I did thicken the sauce after the meat was completely done. This is a winner!!!!
Most delicious and so simple.
So easy! Family loved it!!
Holy moly! This made my mouth water the 1st time I saw it! It turned out so good too! Thanks!
This was so delicious and quick. I didn’t have mushrooms but it was great without. Hubby loved it!
Great recipe! Everything was amazing. The only tweak I made was a couple dashes of cooking wine to the gravy. Added as I added the butter and sautéed the onions and mushrooms. So I also added some sliced onions. Will make again!
Great recipe! Easy to follow and taste lovely!
I made this tonight and it was delicious! My husband and I loved it. So happy to add this to my list of dinner recipes.
I made this tonight for dinner and it was very good. There are only so many things you can make with ground beef so I was happy to try a new recipe.
It was easy and oh so delicious!
My husband couldn’t get enough, it was delicious
Well worth making! I did add one medium sauteed onion. They turned out tender and flavorful with a delicious gravy
This turned out great. I used ground turkey and used a crockpot to cook everything Turned out great
Superb recipe!! I always make recipes and have to alter for the next time (add this, do that etc) not with this one. The only initial changes I made were I used spicy brown mustard, crushed croutons for breadcrumbs and I made the teaspoons heaping. I always made 12 small patties (using a small muffin pan) I air fried my patties and then simmered in beef jar (2) gravy for 30 min and served with mashed potato! Husband LOVED IT!! Thanks again
We love this recipe!
Really great recipe. My youngest loves Salisbury Steak. Out of the recipes we’ve tried this is my favorite. Great flavor. I added a dash of Kitchen Bouquet as well.
I like this recipe and I’m making it for dinner tonight
Great recipe! One of the best meals I remember was when I was a kid and had dinner at Jerry’s Nugget with my dad. We both got the salisbury steak dinners. Before then .. I only remember eating it with TV dinners. Out of curiosity I looked up the recipe and realized just how simple it was. Almost as simple as popping in a TV dinner? By the way .. so many people with ketchup issues. Sometimes .. ketchup isn’t ketchup .. it’s just a vehicle for other ingredients. Ketchup is simply tomato paste, vinegar and sugar. One tablespoon is not going to make your food taste like ketchup. It’s like people who say they hate fish sauce, but love worcestershire (main ingredient fish sauce).
Can I make this without mushrooms? My daughter has an allergy with mushrooms.
Sure! Just leave them out.
Can I make this without the Dijon mustard?
Yes.
My family enjoyed this recipe.
LOVED IT and so did my family! This recipe is on point. Served it with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. I haven’t had Salisbury Streak this delicious since I was a kid. My youngest, who is very picky, cleaned her plate!
I made this last night for friends, and it was a total success!! We decided it was the ultimate comfort food. So delicious!! The only change I made was that I left out the ketchup from the gravy…just because I’m not a huge fan of ketchup. It was still absolutely scrumptious. The steaks were really tender and tasty. Served with mashed potatoes (thanks, Bob Evans) and Lima beans. I highly recommend this recipe!!
My husband loved this. Will become a regular on my menu.
I needed to use up some leftover ground beef and found this recipe. What a pleasant surprise! Our meal was hearty and elegant. I will definitely be keeping this recipe in my rotation. I added some shallots and thyme to the gravy, and used saltines instead of bread crumbs (it was all I had) but otherwise made it exactly as directed. So good!
Whole family loved it! I served it with the mashed potatoes from this site, too. Also a winner. Love the recipes here!
My husband and I have fond childhood memories of Salisbury Steak dining with our respective families south FL in the late 50’s/early 60’s. But this recipe was by far better than anything we ever recall eating. It was delicious…tender & perfectly seasoned. I served it with mashed (butter) potatoes and sautéed sweet onions before adding mushrooms. I will definitely make this again and because I used rice flour, I’d reduce the flour to only 1 Tblsp. Thanks for providing an updated recipe for an ordinary standby of long ago.
I’ve tried a few other recipes for this that were ok. But this one was great! And it was quick and easy. Thank you so much!
Yum, yum, yum. Grew up having the occasional frozen salisbury steaks and don’t know why I’ve never made it myself before but am so glad I did using this recipe. Definitely a keeper!
I doubled the recipe and I’m glad I did! My guys loved it and can’t wait for the leftovers!
Doubled the recipe. It was awesome!!
Fabulous recipe!!! I can’t say enough how good it was. Me and my husband couldn’t stop raving about it. Super easy and very flavorful. Definitely will keep this in the rotation for recipes!
My husband loved! I can’t say anymore!!
Perfect as is!
Made this recipe, but with several changes. Due to time constraints, I didn’t pan-brown. Rather I placed the formed Salisbury steaks in an olive oil coated glass baking dish(uncovered), and into the oven. Still browned nicely, @ internal temp of 175f. My wife and my mother-in-law loved it, and so did I
I have never made or eatten Salisbury Steak, but I tried this recipe and the family loved it.
OMG, this was insanely good. I added onions with the mushrooms but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The ultimate in comfort food…so flavorful. Will be included in regular recipe rotation.
Really good recipe. Easy and family loved them.
Made this tonight. The steaks are really good. I didn’t have dijon so used dry mustard. Served over mashed potatoes. I like that the rest can be frozen. Great for a single person!!
You don’t need to sauté the mushrooms (and onions) first before adding to the gravy? I would think they’d be “boiled” instead of browned if you don’t cook first. I’ve never done it this way so I’m interested, and happy to skip a step ;)
Stumbled on your recipe when faced w/another lb of ground beef. SO very glad I did. After browning the steaks, I slowly sautéed a sliced sweet onion, then made gravy to recipe, but added a can of sliced mushrooms (no fresh). Nestled steaks and put on low flame for 30 mins. The best SS ever! Served w/mashed potatoes and buttered carrots. Ty.
I have very differing tastes in my family. Everyone LOVED this!
Very good. Switched out to GF breadcrumbs and added a half of finely chopped shallot.
Great and easy recipe. I did add a can of mushroom soup because I didn’t have mushrooms. Will make this again.
We really liked this recipe and will add to the monthly rotation. Thank you!
Everyone loved this!!!
It was so good! I will definitely be making this again
My husband and I both loved this recipe!
Really good recipe, but I personally would leave out the oregano next time.
This was so good! It was easy to make. I did a few things different. I used ground sirloin instead of ground beef, regular table mustard instead of Dijon. For the gravy, however, I used a can of Campbell’s French onion soup with 1 cup of beef broth. I skip the onion powder, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. I add a little more flour and a little more butter just to make quantity of gravy. I chopped up just some baby bella mushrooms. Awesome!!
Tastesl much better than the classic tv dinner and I used ground turkey. TY!
I’ve been cooking for my Family (plus) for more than 50 years, but I had never made Salisbury Steak until last night (Hamburgers? Sure. Meatloaf? Of course. Meatballs? Come on, guys, let’s not be ridiculous, K? Salisbury Steak? Ummm — I don’t know why, but no, I’ve just NEVER made Salisbury Steak). Anyway, I made this just last night — following the recipe EXACTLY — and served it up with my own recipe for Mashed Potatoes, YOUR recipe for Roasted Broccoli and Sour Cream as an aside “for those who my want it”. Absolutely DELICIOUS and a SPECTACULAR success! I will never look at a Hamburger in the same way EVER again!
This recipe didn’t need a thing. The whole family loved it!
I omitted the ketchup and added a teaspoon of beef bouillon paste. Fantastic recipe!
This has been a new favorite for us! The flavor is fantastic and it works just as good with ground turkey! Absolutely love it served over mashed potatoes.
Got high fives from teenage son and husband. I’m really glad to add this to my weeknight list of favorites.
EZ delicious and my family loved it. I didn’t have crimini mushrooms so I use Portobello. I don’t believe it change the recipe. Next time I’ll plan ahead and use cremini mushrooms.
Flavorful and easy!
Super easy, so good. Definitely making this one again.
Just made this! Turned out so good! Will definitely be making again!
This is a classic for a good reason and your recipe was foolproof. Quick, easy, and on the table in 40 minutes with two sides.
Easy to make and delicious!
I’ve always wanted to make Salisbury Steak and this did not disappoint, in fact it was much more flavourful than I expected and super simple to make. Delicious, try it. My whole family loved it!
GREAT!!!
It was delicious!
Very tasty – but the real plus is that my hubs with his health-caused poor appetite ate one entire portion and raved about it! Anything that encourages him to clean his plate is a winner! Of course I, too, enjoyed it.
Surprised that I just got an OK to make this, so it is in our near future.
Just like Mom used to make!
I love Salisbury Steak but have never made it. It was a constant in our dinner rotation when I was growing up. Thanks for the recipe!
I hope you and all your family are healthy and doing well.
Take good care.
