Salisbury Steak

II have never made Salisbury steak before but I had one of those "I can crave it so bad I can taste it" moments. I just happen to be in line at the grocery store and I was flipping thru Paula Deens magazine and came across this easy recipe and all the ingredients were already in the cart....see it was meant to be! As soon as I put the groceries away I began making this...I couldn't wait I didn't even make green beans with it! Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes...how comforting. I thought about after I ate it but I should of served with the steak over the mashed potatoes. Yummmy!!
