Recipe: Salsbury Steak

So what I did was take all of the above, and mash it together in a big bowl. I couldn’t find Leah’s food processor, so I used my cocktail blender to get my bread crumbs. Ackward, but effective. So back to the mashing… there’s nothing like getting your hands dirty and like when making a Meat Loaf, you had to mash the crap out of this to make sure everything was sufficantly mixed up. Once mixed well, I padded them out into four even paddies… so we’re looking at a half pound per paddle. Once ready, the first thing I did was fry them on a pan. Once they were cooked on the outside to my liking, I turned the oven up to 375 and tossed all four in there for 25 minutes so that they would cook all the way through without turning the outide to tar black.

They turned out really well, and sided with mashed potatoes, peaches & Creme corn and gravy… it made a kickass meal. The kids have been picky, but I’m glad to say they ate it all up and loved it! That was an added bonus, cause I was afraid the kids wouldn’t eat it, especailly Ethan. So it turned out well, and I have the pictures to prove it! Take a gander, cause they looked good too!

So that was my highlight of the day. Hopefully everyone had a great Tuesday and I’ll be around. Until then, take care…
