Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Serves 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 egg
5 tbsp approved crushed crackers (I used Annie's crackers)
8 tbsp finely chopped onion
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Morton's Natural Seasoning

3 (4 oz cans of sliced mushrooms)
3/4 cup diced onions
5 tbsp butter
5 tbsp AP flour
4 cups milk
1/4 cup stage 1 spices

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl mix together ground beef, egg, crackers, onions, salt, pepper and season salt, using your hands.  Shape into 6 patties about an inch thick.
2. Fry patties in a large skillet over medium heat until browned.  Drain off grease and remove patties to a platter and keep warm.
3. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, add mushrooms (and liquid) and onions.  Cook and stir for about 10 minutes until no more liquid is pooling in the pan.  Sprinkle with flour and mix until blended.  Let cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in milk and spices, cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and starting to thicken.  Return patties to the gravy and cook over low heat, uncovered for 10 minutes.

VERDICT: this is so good, the spice and homemade sauce is so good.  It's creamy and yummy and I will make this often.
