Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

I’ve made this dish for the last 50 years+ for my family, especially for my boys. They loved it too. Not with the exact same seasonings, I’d make hamburger steaks with onions, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, eggs and Worcestershire sauce with a gravy of Cream of Mushroom soup and beef stock. When you were a single Mom with not a lot of money, these types of meals were perfect. We still to this day love comfort foods like this.

  • Fresh garlic
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Ketchup
  • Beef Bullion

  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Mushrooms
  • Butter

  • Salt and Pepper

What to serve with this dish.

Because of the gravy, I love this with creamy mashed potatoes. Try my recipe for buttery mashed potatoes! They would be delicious with this! delicious buttery mashed potatoes!!

Although mashed potatoes are delicious alongside this delicious Salisbury steak, rice or egg noodles would work perfectly.

Just one pound of ground beef will make about 5 patties, so this really stretches for a family. With the mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles or rice and a side vegetable like green beans this makes a satisfying meal. Even a can of green beans that you add extras too is a great side dish.

Course dinner, Main Course
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 slices fresh white bread or wheat torn into pieces I crumble them in a food processor
  • 3/4 cup milk for soaking the breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard

Mushroom Gravy

  • 1 tbsp olive oil 2
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1 onion, medium sliced
  • 6 oz mushrooms (I used Baby Bella's)
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1-2 fresh thyme sprigs
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Cover with the milk and allow to sit for a few minutes.
  • Add the beef to a large bowl and add the softened bread crumbs, the egg and the remaining ingredients. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined.
  • Divide into 4 to 6 balls and form into a thick patty. You don't want them flat like a Smashburger.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the patties and cook the first side until browned, then turn and brown the other side (they will not be completely cooked inside but they will finish in the gravy). Remove onto plate.
  • Add the onion and cook until the onions are a bit translucent.
  • Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the mushrooms are browned and they are tender. Don't add the salt until all of the water has released from the mushrooms and has been absorbed or cooked out.
  • Turn heat down to medium to medium low. Add butter. Once melted, add flour and cook stirring constantly to get the raw flour taste is gone. Maybe a minute or so.
  • Gradually add in beef broth, stirring as you go. Whisk in remaining Gravy ingredients. 
  • Add steaks along with the juices on the plate. Cook for 5 – 7 minutes, or until gravy is thickened, stirring occasionally around the steaks. If the gravy thickens too quickly, add more water.
  • Remove steaks onto a plate. Taste gravy and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom gravy with mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles. Enjoy!

Ultimate comfort food – Old Fashioned American Goulash

Old Fashioned American Goulash is always a favorite in my home. It is comfort at it’s best. Curl up with a bowl of goulash on a cold night with the fire going and you are in heaven! At least I am.

So easy to make, all done in one pot on the stovetop. Loaded with macaroni, ground beef, tomatoes and spices, it really is delicious. This recipe also chipotle and I added cheddar and mozzarella cheese at the end. I love it with the cheese!

Always a Favorite, Old Fashioned American Goulash

Don’t confuse American Goulash which is normally referred to as just “Goulash” with Hungarian Goulash where apparently Goulash originated. According to Wikipedia:

American goulash, sometimes called slumgullion, is an American comfort food dish, similar to American chop suey. American goulash is usually referred to in the midwestern and southern United States as simply “goulash”. As a descendant, of sorts, of Hungarian goulash, the only real connection seems to be the name, and the inclusion of beef and paprika. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_goulash.

  • ground beef or turkey
  • minced garlic
  • yellow onion diced
  • water
  • beef broth
  • olive oil
  • tomato sauce
  • diced tomatoes
  • Chipotle (optional)
  • seasoning
  • Adobo Seasoning
  • bay leaves
  • seasoned salt
  • black pepper
  • elbow macaroni uncooked
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese

What to serve with American Goulash?

On this particular evening I just served this with my Southern Jalapeno cornbread. We really didn’t feel a need for more; however, if you have a young family or many that you are serving, you may want to add a side dish and maybe even a salad and a side dish.

Here’s the recipe for my jalapeno cornbread: so easy, the best jalapeno cornbread.

A nice green salad would work well. I’d dress it with a lemon and olive oil or a similar vinaigrette. Steamed broccoli would be good if your family likes broccoli, or you know, just a can of green beans or a can of corn would be great. We can’t always do the “fresh” vegetable route, so do the next best thing is to add a frozen or canned vegetable element.

I love these bowls I served this in. They are very inexpensive. Here is the link: https://amzn.to/4aMxwTf

Course dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lbs. ground beef (you could use chicken or turkey)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 3 tsp. minced garlic
  • 2 15-oz cans tomato sauce
  • 2 15-oz cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup beef broth (you can use Knorr beef bullion and add more water if needed)
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp. Adobo seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt (just salt if you don't have)
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (Optional)
  • 1 cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pan to medium and add the olive oil. Add the ground and cook to about half cooked. Then add the onions, bell peppers and cook until the onions are translucent. Add your garlic, your seasonings. Easy on the salt at this time because the beef broth or beef bullion is salty and if you use seasoned salt you already have some salt which may be enough. You can actually not add anymore salt until the dish has simmered a little or even wait until the last.
  • Add the water, broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes along with the bay leaves. Bring to a boil and lower the heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • After simmering for the 20 minutes add the uncooked pasta and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until your past is to your desired doneness.
  • Remove the bay leaves, and stir in the cheddar cheese. Right before serving, add the mozzarella cheese and enjoy!

Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde

Chicken and Potato Flautas drowned in salsa Verde! Doesn’t this sound amazing? They are crunchy to the bite and the chicken that is mixed with soft mashed potatoes and cheese and seasonings as the filling is tender, so flavorful and absolutely mouth watering. All rolled up and quickly fried to a golden brown, these just hit the spot. They are then plated and covered with the delicious salsa Verde, lettuce, cheese and other topping of your choice These flautas stay crispy until the end and when you are finished you are looking forward to the next time you can eat them. Let’s get started with how to make these delicious flautas!

I had seen taquitos or flautas in I guess a TexMex way. I was happy when my friend that lives in Mexico taught me how to make these the right way, from Mexico. Even after her instructions I also watched several videos to make sure I was making them right. Now I do! I hope you will too!

They are not difficult, once you have your ingredients prepared. You can start the day before cooking the potato mixture with the chicken and cheese. You can make your salsa Verde a couple of days in advance and you can even roll your flautas ahead of time, safely store them covered well in your refrigerator. This will actually help them to hold together in the frying process.

Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde
Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde

These Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde, or rolled tacos filled with chicken, potato and cheese, fried and covered in salsa verde, topped with cotija cheese and crispy lettuce, truly are an absolute favorite! They are crunchy, with a well seasoned filling, and a little kick is added my topping off with a little spicy salsa verde!

Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde
Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde

Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde

These flautas will be excellent for game days this fall! or a weeknight meal. You can make the flautas ahead of time and freeze them. You can make the salsa Verde ahead also and freeze in small containers. When you are reheating the flautas, heat them in an air fryer or in the oven so they will crisp up again. Thaw your salsa and heat in a sauce pan, then top with cheese of your choice (I like the more authentic cotija crumbles) and add the crispy shredded lettuce! Perfection!

Game day, place them on a heating plate similar to this along with the salsa Verde. Have the cheese and shredded lettuce in a container on a bed of ice to keep it chilled, along with extra salsas you may want to have available. You could add chopped onions, cilantro, tomatoes and radishes as additional garnishes.

Your guest can build their own perfect Flautas. Here’s the link for the heating tray: https://amzn.to/3RKWxHh. By the way, this heating tray is on sale right now! I am a real stickler about my food being served hot!

Flautas de Pollo Ahogadas En Salsa Verde

Print Recipe
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper
  • 2-4 medium potatoes, skin on
  • shredded muenster cheese

Salsa Verde

  • 1 lb tomatillos

  • 1/2 cup cooking water
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • small bunch of cilantro
  • salt to taste
  • oil

To assemble

  • 12-16 corn tortillas softened in oil or microwave
  • shredded lettuce
  • Cotija Cheese
  • oil for frying the flautus

Instructions
 

For the filling

  • PLace the chicken along with the other ingredients and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Boneless chicken breast will cook in 12-15 minutes, bone in will take a little longer.
    Remove from heat when done and allow to cool so you can shred it.
  • Add the unpeeled potatoes to a pot of salted water and cook until tender. When done, remove from the heat and allow to cool. When you are able to handle, peel the potatoes.
  • Shred the chicken and add to a bowl. In another bowl, roughly mash the potatoes. Combine the chicken and the potatoes along with the grated muenster cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside

To assemble

  • Heat a skillet with a little oil. Heat to medium high and one at a time add the corn tortillas to soften and quickly remove them.
    Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture until all are complete. Heat a skillet and fill with enough oil to fry the flautas. Heat to medium high and continually turn them to prevent burning.
    Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
    To assemble:
    Spoon some of the Salsa verde onto the plate, Place 3 or 4 flautas on top. Ladle more sauce on top. Add shredded lettuce, Cotija cheese. Enjoy,
    Additional garnishes can be thinly sliced onions or pickled onions. Crema would be great. Guacamole or sour cream, yum.

Consider these delectable Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches for really any occasion! They’ll elevate your weeknight dinners and delight your holiday guests. Whether cooked in a crock pot, oven, or Instant Pot, these sandwiches offer versatility. You can even prepare them ahead of time, reheating  then only the assembly left before you entertain. And let’s not forget, these sandwiches are simply irresistible!

I melted provolone cheese on top of toasted buns and briefly broiled them. To prepare for your gathering or party, have a crock pot with beef, heated Au jus, and halved buns ready. Fill the buns with cheese, meat, and peppers. Serve with hot Au jus for dipping, along with bell peppers and giardiniera.

Chicago Italian Beef
Chicago Italian Beef

What you need to prepare these:

  • boneless beef chuck roast
  • salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil
  • medium onion
  • dried Italian Seasoning
  • crushed red pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • dry red wine
  • beef stock
  • fresh thyme
  • For the Sweet Peppers
  • green bell peppers
  • granulated garlic
  • salt and pepper
  • Sandwich Build
  • hoagie rolls
  • Hot Giardiniera

I purchased a boneless chuck roast that had exceptional marbling. The end result was remarkably tender! I utilized my Instant Pot to cook it, setting the timer for an hour. The Au jus is incredibly tasty! It possesses a spicy twist reminiscent of a French dip, elevated by the inclusion of the essential Giardiniera – a traditional Italian blend of pickled vegetables.

I bought my Giardiniera from Vienna Beef Company in Chicago. Here’s the link: https://www.viennabeef.com/shop-category/condiments/.

You can also get this from Amazon. Here’s the link for Amazon: https://amzn.to/37LRRXT.

Cuisine American, Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 lb boneless beef chuck roast
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp dried Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

For the Sweet Peppers

  • 4 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • salt and pepper

Sandwich Build

  • 6 soft, hinged sub or hoagie rolls
  • Hot Giardiniera, recipe follows if you want to make

Homemade Hot Giardiniera

  • 1/4 cup table salt
  • 1 cup small diced carrots
  • 1 cup tiny cauliflower florets
  • 4-8 Serrano peppers, sliced 1/4 inch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced small
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced small
  • 2 cups canola oil
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • For the pot roast: Position a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

  • Liberally sprinkle the entire roast with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides until golden and caramelized; reduce the heat if the fat begins to smoke. Transfer the roast to a plate and reduce the heat to medium. Add in the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper and saute until fragrant, another minute. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze with the red wine and cook until reduced by half. Add in the stock and thyme and bring to a simmer. Adjust the seasoning of the jus. Place the roast back into the pot with any accumulated juices and place in the oven. Cook the roast, turning every 30 minutes, until very tender, 3 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Increase the oven heat to 350 degrees F.

  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent with foil. Strain the jus through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and return back to the pot. Bring to a simmer and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once cooled a bit, pull the meat into smaller chunks, return to the reduced jus and reserve until ready to build the sandwiches.

  • For the sweet peppers: Toss the pepper strips with the olive oil, granulated garlic and some salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until lighter in color and soft, about 20 minutes.

  • For the sandwich build: If you like, open the bun and toast it in a little butter in a skillet. Remove from the skillet and add provolone cheese and place under the broiler. Remove and place some beef on the roll, then some sweet peppers and then some Hot Giardiniera. Pour a small dish of reduced jus. Take the whole sandwich and quickly dunk in hot jus or serve with a bowl to each person.
    If you are serving these for a crowd, you can omit the toasting and just lay out the ingredients for everyone to build their own sandwich.
  • Day One: Combine 2 cups water and the salt in a glass or non- reactive bowl. Mix until the salt is dissolved. Add the carrots, cauliflower, serranos, garlic, celery and bell peppers to the salt water and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  • Day Two: Drain and rinse the vegetables. In a clean bowl, mix together the canola oil with the oregano and pepper. Add the vegetables and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Giardiniera will only get better with time. After 2 days at the most in the bowl, you can place in air-tight Mason jars and keep in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Makes 3 to 4 cups.

Tandoori Chicken Wings

what are the spices in these Tandoori Chicken Wings?

I love the Indian spices in this dish. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons garam masala which is a blend of ground spices used extensively in Indian cuisine. The spices for garam masala are usually toasted to bring out more flavor and aroma, and then ground. The word masala simply means “spices,” and garam means “hot.” However, garam masala doesn’t necessarily constitute a particularly spicy blend. The powdered form is typically gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian, while you will need to check the label for garam masala paste to see what is included.

I couldn’t find garam masala at my local grocery store so I bought it online from Amazon. Maybe you can find it at your store. I’m rural and I can’t always find spices that aren’t the usual spices. Here’s a link for it: https://amzn.to/37KdHuQ.

What ingredients will you need for this recipe:

  • chicken wings, drumettes and flats separated
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresno chilies
  • ginger
  • garlic cloves
  • garam masala
  • smoked paprika
  • cilantro
  • plain whole-milk yogurt
  • fresh lemon juice
  • vegetable oil
  • lemon wedges for serving

I love the Indian spices in this dish. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons garam masala which is a blend of ground spices used extensively in Indian cuisine. The spices for garam masala are usually toasted to bring out more flavor and aroma, and then ground. The word masala simply means "spices," and garam means "hot." However, garam masala doesn't necessarily constitute a particularly spicy blend. The powdered form is typically gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian, while you will need to check the label for garam masala paste to see what is included.
