Salisbury Steak, Taters covered in Gravy

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I did Keith's, indaswamp Salisbury Steak for Thanksgiving. As soon as I seen his post I knew I wanted to do this for TG. I owe him Large for this one. This was a fun cook and learned a few things. I now know how to make real bread crumbs and will never do it any other way. I also have never slow fried bacon before. I'm one of those must be crispy people but had so much flavor this way. Anyhow on to the cook.

Beef ingredients ready:



Sauce ingredients



Meat mixed up. I think I have probably have one of the smallest kitchens here. This is my whole work space! Kind of challenging on a cook like this!




I had the griddle out from breakfast so might as well use it. Grilled up than into the oven.



Sauce made up. Even made a roux. I had some drippings left from a Brisket cook over the weekend so added some of it. Should of cooked the mushrooms a little longer but I was getting hungry. Keith's gravy looked so much better but it was tasty.



Kind of covered every thing up in gravy but this was one of the best tasting meals I have cooked this year!




Thanks for looking

Glad you enjoyed it Brian! Looks good to me!

Keith's gravy looked so much better

One thing I do anytime I cook onions is sautee them until I start to get some caramelization. That adds a lot to the color. I also fried the burger patties in the same CI pan I made the gravy So the onions would pull up the stuck bits for color and flavor.

*edit to add:
I also use a dark brown cajun roux which brings a lot of color and deep nutty flavor to the gravy.....
