MANLY-MAN SALISBURY STEAKS

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, combine well with hands the hamburger, 1/3 cup cream of mushroom soup, 1/3 cup french onion soup, garlic powder, bread crumbs and egg.
• Shape into six 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" oval patties, 1/2" thick.
• Place on cookie sheet as you go.
• Sprinkle tops with salt and pepper.
• In 2 frying pans, place a little butter and melt.
• Add 3 patties to each pan seasoned-side down.
• Salt and pepper other sides while bottoms are frying.
• Fry over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or till deep browned.
• TURN CAREFULLY. You don't want to "flip" them or you'll break them. I just gently and carefully roll them over slowly with 2 spatulas.
• Brown other sides for about 2 minutes.
• While patties are cooking, mix sauce ingredients together:.
• Rest of soups, browning sauce, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and mushrooms.
• When patties are done, carefully place onto clean cookie sheet(s).
• Pour grease out of pans and wipe with paper towels.
• Place a little bit of sauce into each pan, just a spoonful each and swirl around with back of spoon.
• Place patties back into pans.
• Pour/spoon rest of sauce evenly over each patty.
• Bring to a simmer and simmer 3-5 minutes longer. Stir sauce occasionally.
• Remove to warm platter, pour any sauce from pans over the tops.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
• Great with mashed potatoes dotted with butter, green beans and crusty warm bread! :).
• Serves 6 hungry guests! :).
• *All 6 patties can be done in an electric skillet if you've got one handy. Just watch them so they don't burn if yours runs hot, too.
• **This does not make a ton of gravy -- just enough to compliment the steaks, not drown them, LOL! If you prefer a lot more, double the sauce part.
