Creamy Salisbury Steak

I think I have been missing out on life. Salisbury steak isn't something I make hardly ever. I think I have only made it one other time during our married life. I wasn't a big fan. The other day, when planning my menus I came across this recipe. It was a huge hit at our house! YUM! It is definitely a comfort food and great for those cold winter nights.

2 Pounds Ground Beef
1 Package Onion Soup Mix
1/2 Cup Cracker Crumbs (I used Saltines. I think you could use bread crumbs.)
1 Egg
2 Packages Brown Gravy Mix
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Small Can Sliced Mushrooms, Drained
Egg Noodles, Rice, or Mashed Potatoes (We did mashed potatoes!)

Make hamburger patties using ground beef, onion soup mix, cracker crumbs, and egg. Fry or grill patties until they are browned on both sides.

While the hamburgers are cooking, in a bowl combine the brown gravy mix, the amount of water called for on the packet, and the sour cream. Whisk together.

Grease a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the patties in the bottom. Pour gravy mixture over the top of the patties.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Serve the patties and gravy over mashed potatoes.
