Having found the recipe i notice an aspect of it that i had not noticed
before. The recipe, while probly not original to the now deceased
relative who had a reputation for being a very, very good cook, is from
her collection that i saved from being trashed. I have it for quantities
of 5, 25 or 100 and if anybody's interested i can post the whole thing.

But what i found interesting is that while i routinely pan fry my
"Salisbury steak" the old recipe calls for simmering it in at least 1
cup of 'stock' in the oven for 1 hour at 350 F.

Also while i use just ground beef for the Salisbury steak the recipe i
mention is made with ground beef, veal and pork in decreasing amounts of
10, 6 and 4 ounces for 5 servings..
