Salisbury Steaks

This is one of my family's favorite dinners. We love to eat it with mashed potatoes but you could serve it on some egg noodles or pasta as well. 

• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1/2 of a medium onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 Tablespoon grill seasoning, I use the montreal grill seasoning from McCormick
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large egg
• 8 ounce package of mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3 1/2 cups beef broth

Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until soft and brown, about 6-8 minutes.  Put the cooked onion in a large bowl. Add to the onion: the beef, bread crumbs, grill seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and the egg. Mix to combine everything well and from the mixture make 5 patties. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan over medium high heat. Cook the patties until they are well browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove steak and place on a paper towel lined plate and keep somewhere warm. Still over medium high heat cook the mushrooms in the drippings from the steaks for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Add the beef patties back to the gravy, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and the steaks are cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Freezer directions: Cook through to the end of the recipe and let the steaks cool. Then place steaks w/ gravy in a freezer friendly container and freeze for up to 6 months. When you are ready to eat, just pop out of the freezer, thaw and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until the steaks are heated through and the gravy is boiling.
