Old-fashioned Salisbury steak is comfort food at its finest. Think of it as “meat loaf 2.0,” coming together in half the time but scratching the same itch.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup crushed saltines
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 jar (12 ounces) fat-free beef gravy
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons water
Hot cooked noodles, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg white, onion, crumbs, milk, horseradish, salt if desired, and pepper. Shape into four oval patties.
In a large skillet cook patties over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and meat is no longer pink. Remove patties and keep warm. Add gravy, mushrooms and water to skillet; heat for 3-5 minutes. Serve over patties and noodles if desired.
