Salisbury Steak

In a large bowl, mix 1/3 cup condensed French onion soup, diced onion, 1 tablespoon dried onion mix, bread crumbs, pepper and beaten egg with ground meat. Once mixed well, shape into 8 oval patties.

In a large skillet, brown both sides of patties over medium-high heat. You can pour out excess drippings But I leave my in.

For the gravy, in a bowl, blend flour and remaining French onion soup until smooth. Then mix in the cream of mushroom soup, remaining dried onion soup mix, water, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce till well blended.

Pour the gravy over the browned meat in the skillet and cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to thicken the sauce. The gravy is wonderful with mashed potatoes.

Note: You may add sliced mushrooms with the gravy if you like!
