Here's another cheater for you. I posted this in another group some
time ago but I don't think it got here.

Salisbury Steaks Gone Astray

I had a rather unpleasant weekend and wanted a big ole plate of
comfort food Sunday night. I ground my own meat but did some cheating
on other things. I used Gravy mix and boxed spuds but it was still a
great meal.

I started with a 2 1/4 pound chuck roast.

First pass through the grinder and weighed out one pound for dinner.
The rest is now meatballs for spaghetti.

http://i53.tinypic.com/4rus9d.jpg

To the one pound I added:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs
3 tb. McCormick herb gravy mix for beef
2 tb. dried minced onion
2 tb worchester sauce
1/2 t. celery seed (not salt)
1 heaping Tb. freeze dried chives
1/2 t. thyme

All that went through the grinder again and seemed too messy to make
patties with so I made a mini meatloaf. While the meatloaf was baking
I sauteed 1/4 pound of mushrooms in butter with black pepper. Louise
made the gravy mix and the boxed spuds which are trailer trash but for
what it was the meal was excellent and a nice end to a stressful
weekend. Here's a plate but my camera isn't so good.

Looks good. I sometimes add chopped chives, or some granulated garlic to
the hot milk water combo, or a dollop of herb and garlic cream cheese to
boxed potatoes. They're decent when mashing is just too much for my hands
and arms.......Sharon in Canada
