I've never made Salisbury steak. I tend to make meat loaf whenever I
get the desire for a ground beef type dish. Your recipe sounds very
good.
Now, why do they call it Salisbury steak? Good ole' Zimbabwe used to
be called Rhodesia, and the capital city was Salisbury. Is that why?
I suppose I could google, but my philosophy is: 'when all else fails,
google.'
Speaking of ground beef, I have some left over sour cream. Tomorrow,
I'm going to make a meat ball stroganoff. Have you recommendations
for the meatball ingredients? I was thinking of just ground beef,
some worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, and an egg. Simple. Maybe
I'll add some very fine chopped onions, and garlic to the mix. I want
to make a dish that even the ghost of Count Stroganoff would be proud
to serve at his dacha on the lake.
