Poor Man's Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Now I am all about making the poor man's version of recipes. One because its cheaper and we all like to make great tasting meals that are cheap especially with the price of food. So here is the latest to my poor man's recipes.....

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

1 pound lean ground beef....yep ground meat not cube steaks which can be expensive
1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, divided
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup onions

chopped garlic
1 teaspoon steak seasoning (recommended: Montreal) if your on a budget I got the packet of Montreal Steak marinate and used it instead of having to buy a bottle of the seasoning
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons butter

1 package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (1.2-ounce) packet brown gravy mix or mushroom gravy

2 cups water
Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

In a large bowl, combine beef, 1/4 can mushroom soup, bread crumbs, egg, and montreal steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly and shape into 4 oval patties. You can also add some garlic salt and seasoning salt too to the mix. And dont forget the pepper.

Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown patties on both sides and transfer to a plate.

Add some olive oil and saute the onions and garlic too if you want. Then add mushrooms to the saute for 7 to 8 minutes. Add two cup water and whisk in gravy mix until smooth. Stir in remaining mushroom soup also.

Return patties to skillet and spoon gravy over top. Cover pan and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve Salisbury Steaks and Mushroom Gravy over hot cooked rice. 

I found this on the Food Network then revised it to my way of cooking.
