Salisbury Steaks

So if you haven’t noticed, I have been making a lot of hamburger recipes lately. I bought some frozen hamburgers at work so I have quite a few of them filling up my freezer for use. They are 100% hamburger, already shaped. Just need to add seasoning for quick weeknight meals!  I like to use what I have on hand so here is what I threw together for Salisbury Steaks.

 

Salisbury Steak

Ingredients:

1 box frozen hamburgers

1 package of mushrooms

½ chopped onion

1 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 packet French onion soup mix (make sure it’s gluten free)

½ cup sour cream

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

-Cook burgers on a skillet until cooked through.

-Add mushrooms, onions and garlic to the pan drippings and simmer until onions are translucent.

-Add in Worcestershire sauce, cream of mushroom soup, and French onion soup mix.

-Simmer about 5-10 minutes. (add in cornstarch and water mix if you need to thicken it up).

-Once you are done simmering, you can add in sour cream.

-Put the burgers on the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan.

-Add the gravy mixture on top of the burgers.

-Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

-Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

Enjoy!

Chicken and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes and Biscuits

Here is how you can get the most bang for your buck when buying whole chicken, which is usually quite a bit cheaper than buying the boneless, skinless, breasts, which is what I typically buy. Here is what I did with my whole chicken!

Chicken and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes with Biscuits

Directions:
 

-Place whole chicken in crock pot, breast side up.

-Add your favorite chicken seasoning rub on top.

-Let cook on low about 10 hours, if frozen.

-Shred the cooked chicken and place on a platter, separating from the bones, skin, and fat. (I placed all the bones and excess on a plate to use for broth later.)

-Use the juices to make a chicken gravy in a skillet using cornstarch to thicken.

-Place all of the bones, skin, and fat, back into the crock pot.

-Fill the crock pot with water and cook on low overnight. (I cooked mine about 24 hours before I got a chance to work on it).

-I made biscuits according to the directions on a box of Gluten Free Bisquick and they turned out amazing!

-I also made mashed potatoes.

-I plated the mashed potatoes, put a biscuit or two on top, added the shredded chicken, and topped with the chicken gravy.

-After the chicken broth was finished in the crock pot, I strained it into separate containers and added salt to freeze for later use.

We really got a lot of use out of this one chicken!

Gluten Free Peach Pie

I bought a few large bags of frozen peaches so I wanted to try making a peach pie for the 4th of July celebration we had with family. This pie ended up being a hit!

Pan Seared Steak and Roasted Steak Fries

I think this turned out better than grilling it or better than you get in a restaurant. It’s rather tedious to sit and baste the steaks but oh so worth it! I also cut up potatoes and cooked them in the pan drippings
 

Pan Seared Steak

Ingredients:

Steak

Salt & Pepper

Olive Oil

Butter

Garlic, minced

Parsley

 

Directions:

-Salt and Pepper your steak

-Heat a cast iron skillet until hot with a couple teaspoons of olive oil

-Place steak seasoned side down in skillet

-Add salt and pepper to the unseasoned side of the steak

-Let steak cook a couple minutes before turning

-In a small bowl mix together butter, garlic, and parsley

-Add a couple slabs of butter mixture to the skillet on the sides of the steak

-Let cook a couple more minutes before flipping, continuously ladling the butter to the top of the steak.

-After you flip the steak, continue to baste the steak with the butter

-Keep basting and flipping until steak is cooked through or finish cooking in the oven like I did at 400 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.

-Allow steak to rest about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Potatoes:

I cut up steak fries with potatoes, topped with olive oil and seasoning and baked until done.

I left the drippings in the pan, added butter, and finished the potatoes in the drippings for a nice crisp to them... Yummy!
