Perhaps the most crucial every day question that all wives and moms would face throughout their lives is, “What’s for dinner?”. If you’re a meal prepper, bless your heart, but if you’re more like me who usually lives in the moment and just wings it, bless our hearts, too. 😂 I tried to be a meal prepper with all those labels and food storage in the fridge, but it just wasn’t me. So most of the time, I just kinda wing it. Simple, easy and tasty are my three favorite food terms when it comes to family meals.
This Hamburger Steak and Gravy (or as some would call it Salisbury steak and gravy) definitely fits the bill! It’s one of those easy meals that you can squeeze in your weekly rotation and nobody will complain. It’s made with seasoned ground beef, breadcrumbs and eggs mixture formed into thick hamburger patties/steaks and then pan-fried. Don’t start with me on the sauce. It’s a savory onion mushroom gravy sauce that is sooo lethal. You’d unconsciously pour it all over whatever happens to be on the dining table. Rice, mashed potatoes, peas – you name it. It’s so perfect with almost anything!
You see right there, I also added this good ole Southern Fried Corn on the side for an added texture to my meal. Oh boy, it was a fantastic meal that soothes the soul! You can go as simple as this or sneak in some veggies in the hamburger steaks like bell pepper, carrots, potatoes or celery to make your kids eat veggies. They won’t complain at all. And you can even stop right there and just pair these bad boys here with ketchup. It sure works, too! But of course, this Hamburger Steak is utterly perfect when paired with gravy ’cause dads and hubbies like it that way.
So if you’re looking for a great family weeknight meal OR for this coming Father’s Day celebration that is no-fuss and comes together in no time, you sure need to add this to your recipe box. And don’t worry, I have loads of special and hearty recipe ideas for you to choose from to impress all the Pops out there. 😉 Happy Father’s Day!
