Salisbury Steak is wonderful with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. My favorite part of this dish is coving the whole thing in gravy. I love to sop up this gravy with homemade bread.
I have tried several variations of Salisbury Steak but what sets this one apart is the onion soup mix. It adds so much flavor. I will sometimes substitute 1/4 cup of quick cooking oats instead of the saltine crackers. The oats are better for you and I like the texture they add to the meat.
I first found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2010 Annual Recipe Cookbook.

Tip from me
I like to reheat this dish by breaking up the beef and placing it on a 8×8 baking dish. Preheat oven to 350° for about 15 minutes. I’m not a huge fan of the microwave reheat.
Let's prep!
| 1 medium onion, finely chopped |
| 1/2 cup crushed saltines (about 15 crackers) |
| 1 egg |
| 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
| 1 pound ground beef |
| 1 tablespoon canola oil |
| 2 cups water |
| 1 envelope onion soup mix |
| 2 tablespoons flour |
- Gather all of your ingredients and measuring tools
- Add to a large bowl and mix until just combined:
- 1 onion finely chopped. I like to use a onion chopper
- Finely smash 15 saltine
- 1 egg
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- Make 4 equal patties. I like to use a kitchen scale.
- Add to a medium bowl and mix well; set aside:
- 2 cups water
- onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons of flour
Let's cook!
- Complete the prep from the prep from the above tab
- Heat pan with 1 tablespoon of oil then add patties for 3 minutes on each side.
- Remove the patties to a plate then use a paper towel to clean any bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add the onion soup mixture to the pan and bring to a boil. Return the patties to the pan, reduce heat and cover.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes. The internal temp of the beef will be 165° F. I like to use an instant read thermometer. Enjoy!
