Salisbury Steak is a simple classic entree. Like so many classics, this is amazingly delicious. It also pairs well with so many different vegetables or pasta.

The meat center diet is not new. Not even close. The meat based diet idea goes way back.  Dr. Salisbury who was a physician and a chemist in the mid 1800’s to early 1900’s believed that a meat based diet was good for your health. 

Even though Salisbury Steak is named after Dr. Salisbury, his version of it is different than the Salisbury Steak we eat now. A couple differences are we now serve it with gravy and a vegetable (often mashed potatoes) or pasta. Also, the more modern version is often served with mushrooms which you are welcome to add to this recipe.

Salisbury Steak reminds me of my childhood. My mom ran a daycare in our house and many nights by the time dinner came around she was tired. Cooking was also not her favorite thing to do.  She would stock up on tv dinners when they were on sale. We would pop those in the oven (back before microwaves were a thing) and have dinner. I loved the Salisbury Steak tv dinner as long as it got heated long enough so the mash potatoes weren’t still frozen.

Did you have tv dinners when you were a kid? What was your favorite one?
