Salisbury Steak with Egg Noodles

This recipe may sound weird and kind of something like your grandma used to make... that's exactly why I decided to make it. For some reason, I feel like we had Salisbury steak when I was little. I haven't confirmed this with my Gram, but it was still yummy and really easy.

Salisbury Steak with Egg Noodles

Adapted from Food Network Magazine

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 onion, finely chopped

7 saltine crackers, finely crushed

1 tsp minced sage

Salt

Pepper

3 tbsp butter

8 oz sliced mushrooms

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

3 tbsp flour

1-2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Buttered egg noodles

Directions

Gently mix the beef, egg, onion, cracker crumbs, sage, 1/2 tsp salt, and few grinds of pepper in a bowl using your hands. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and cook the mushrooms until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce , salt and more pepper to taste, scraping up any browned bits. Sprinkle in the flour and stir, then stir in 2 1/2 c hot water and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter.

Return the patties to the skillet. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the patties are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and season with more salt and pepper as needed. Serve with egg noodles, if desired.
