I think it also depends on the end result/flavour he's looking for. I
don't know a thing about this Salisbury Hamb. Helper he's talking about.
I have made salisbury steak (I know you don't like it, sf) and for
that I use beef stock when making the sauce. Thyme, absolutely.

I can't quite picture deconstructing salisbury steak into something
cooked in a skillet together with noodles.

Do we know that he knows how to make biscuits and gravy?

I can make the gravy, I lost the knack for making biscuits.
