SALISBURY STEAK


I found a really good Salisbury Steak recipe if anyone wants to give it a try! I had the whole meal put together while the cookies baked. All done in less than an hour, including clean up.

SALISBURY STEAK
10 3/4 ounces cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, lean
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, or cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup water

I also added some onion soup mix in with the seasonings for extra flavor, with beef it never hurts to kick it up a notch!

Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, combine 1/4 of the soup with remaining ingredients except water; mix well. Shape into 6 patties; arrange in single layer in 13x9-inch or 12x8-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350°F. for 30 minutes. Skim off fat.

In small bowl, combine remaining soup and water; spoon over patties. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes. If desired, garnish with mushroom slices.

Serve with mashed or fried potatoes, green beans (with Catalina dressing) and biscuits!

Peanut Butter cookies with Nutella chocolate spread for desert!

2.In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk set aside.
3.In a large bowl, blend sugars, using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add butter, and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and mix at medium speed until light and fluffy.
4.Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed.
5.Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. With a wet fork gently press cookies in a crisscrossed pattern. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until slightly brown along edges.
