A good recipe for Salisbury steak recipe is hard to find! I remember enjoying it often when I was growing up, but when I decided to add it to my recipe collection, I wasn't able to find it in my modern cookbooks. I came up with these ingredients on my own and experimented until it tasted like I remembered. —Faye Hintz, Springfield, Missouri

Great recipe! I made a couple of substitutions based on what I hand on hand. Used fresh mushrooms instead of canned and beef stock instead of the bouillon cubes and water. I also used 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef, so I increased the ingredients accordingly. Easy to put together and my family gobbled it up! I will definitely make this again!

Has been added to my favorites. I have made several times and find it the best around. Love just that bit of sage. I did not change A THING!

Absolutely delicious. I had to triple it for a family dinner. The gravy was incredible. Only change I made was to use fresh mushrooms.

This was very easy and good, I did not have any mushrooms so I added small chopped peppers in their place.

My family loved this recipe and we're not even big fans of gravy type dishes. I would double the mushrooms and add onions like others suggested to change it up and because we love these two items.
