I have been making this for 20 yrs. I learned that putting less mushroom soup in the patties helped with the falling apart. But what really mattered is not frying them. I bake them in a roaster so there is no need to flip the beef. Baking them doesn't char the outsides and they taste more like salisbury steak vs fried hamburger. My kids are over 30 and still come running when I make this recipe...

I like to use fresh bread crumbs in the "steaks". For a little more flavor, I add a teaspoon or so of italian seasoning, onion/garlic powder and a good measure of fresh ground pepper. My kids like this over buttered egg noodles but I like it over MeMe's Mashed Potatoes. Pure comfort food, like something my Mom would have made for me as a kid.

just finished devouring it!! yum! I took the advise of others and knew that I needed more bread crumbs and seasoning, so I had a stroke of brilliance and added 2 cups of Stove Top Stuffing mix! Oh MY so yummy, moist FLAVORFUL! Also, I got excited about this recipe and had my mind set before I realized I didn't have any eggs, but turns out I didn't need them, I added about a table spoon of olive oil to substtute. the patties stuck together wonderfully. we'll be making this AGAIN and AGAIN!

Have made this for years, thought it was my mother's recipe until she gave me a copy from a magazine! We love it. I use a large can of Mushroom soup to get more gravy. Instead of real onions, I use about a tablespoon of dried onion. I only turn them once when browning and remove them in order to mix the gravy and add mushrooms ...then return the burgers. We love them served with egg noodles.

First time i ate Salisbury steak fixed this way. It was so yummy! And yes, mine fell apart when i cooked them to, so i guess i had to much wet ingredients. But they were still very good. Will be making these again.

The recipe was pretty good, simple and got everything in my pantry. I'm only giving 4 star as I made a few adjustment. Many reviewers recommended adding more spices to the meat for flavor so that's what I did. I added garlic powder, onion powder, steak spice, worcestershire sauce and few drops of Frank's Red Hot. I also used more breadcrumbs and even Stove Top stuffing as one reviewer suggested. I did not want to risk the patties falling apart so I covered them breadcrumb before browning. Browned them, added mushrooms halves, not slices, so I can tastes them better, and simmer with some mushroom soup for awhile, flipping occasionally so all patties soak up the mushroom soup evenly. I added some dried chives near the end as well. Overall, recipe was simple but shaping the patties was a bit time consuming for me. 1 pound gave me 9 patties and I hand kneaded the spices into the beef for even distribution. I also find that mushroom sauce a bit salty so maybe I'll dilute it a bit more with milk or bit of hot water. My husband enjoyed it and I would make it again.
