It’s an easy take on Salisbury steak.

The retro ground beef dinner combines little meatloaf-like ground beef patties with a savory mushroom and onion gravy.

As an adult, Ive only made Salisbury steak a handful of times, mostly for nostalgias sake.

This take on the classic dish has won me over again.

It has all of the flavors of the original without the hassle.

Add the beef, onion, and garlic.

Do not drain the beef.

Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl.

Without wiping the skillet clean, add the butter and heat over medium-high until melted.
