Salisbury Steaks in French Onion Sauce, Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, and Steamed Yellow & Green Beans

This recipe comes from fellow-blogger, Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice.  For the meat, we followed the recipe, as published, but placed the steak on a bed of Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes instead of Cheese Toast. 

We could think of several variations using the basic meat recipe and playing around with the sauce to make another time – this is a great basic recipe.  It was wonderful, flavorful comfort food!

Salisbury Steak was one of John’s paternal grandmother’s favorite dishes to make for the family.  He said this version was more gourmet than hers, but it still brought back good memories of family gatherings.

Boil: 3 peeled and diced Russet Potatoes in just enough salted water to cover them.

Drain, and return to pan with:

1/4 Cup Butter, sliced into 4 pieces

1/3 Cup Sour Cream

Salt and Pepper to taste

Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency.

Trader Joe’s sells these fresh beans in a “Microwave in Bag” package.  Nothing could be easier.  We punctured the bag, then microwaved the bag for 5 minutes, poured them into a bowl and tossed with Salt, Pepper, and 2 Tablespoons of Butter cut into small pieces.
