Salisbury Steak

Before skimming fat off 

  The weather has been dreary and wet so decided that comfort food was the thing for supper. The Southern Living Ultimate cookbook had just the recipe. Salisbury Steak with rice or mashed potatoes. We had it with mashed potatoes and tiny peas. Comfort food indeed. It was quite easy and very tasty. I made the whole recipe even though there are only three of us to eat it, as I wanted to freeze some for another meal when I needed something fast.

  I did not use all the amount of Worcestershire sauce the recipe calls for as we don’t care for it in large amounts. I just added more beef broth. I added more beef broth also as I felt the sauce was a little too thick. You can adjust that to your family’s tastes.

  I have made salisbury steak often through the years. This is one of the better recipes I have used.
