Mushroom Salisbury Steak

By Addie

My family really looks forward to supper when these tasty beef patties are on the menu. I served this effortless entree to our preacher when he came to dinner, and I often bring it to covered-dish gatherings. I keep the recipe typed and ready to hand out because it's always requested. -Louise Miller, Westminster, Maryland

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
• 1 jar (6 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, optional
• 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
• Hot mashed potatoes or cooked noodles

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch and consomme until smooth. Stir in mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and basil; set aside.

In another large bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, seasoned salt and pepper if desired. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six oval patties; place in a shallow 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish.

Cover and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes; drain. Turn patties, moving the ones in the center to the outside of dish. Pour consomme mixture over patties. Cover and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with potatoes or noodles. Yield: 6 servings.

REVIEWS:

LOVE this! However, I made it in the oven.

I prefer to make this in a skillet rather than a microwave. It takes a little longer but we like it better that way.

This recipe is delicious. I did not have the consomme so I used two pkgs. of brown gravy mix.
