Salisbury Steak Meatballs



Skip to Recipe

We all have those days when we come home wearied after a busy day at work, to find ourselves hungry with neither the energy nor the motivation to cook. And, all we want is reach out for our phones to order from our favorite takeaways, that eventually ends up making a dent in our wallet and sabotaging our health goals. However with a little bit of prep, you can easily have a home-cooked meal without derailing your diet.

Salisbury Steak is an American favorite that graced TV dinners in the 50s but has stood the test of time. This recipe is a spin on the classic. Tender and juicy meatballs are simmered in a rich onion and mushroom gravy for the perfect comfort dinner that the whole family will love!
With just a few simple ingredients, it comes together in less than an hour, making it an easy recipe for your weekly dinner rotation! Plus everything gets cooked in one pan!
What to Serve with these Meatballs?

Serve these meatballs over creamy mashed potatoes, rice or noodles (because you will not want to miss a drop of the rich brown salisbury gravy!) or alongside a fresh green salad.

Tips for making the Best Meatballs
  • Don’t overwork the meat when you mix it, it will make the meatballs tough instead of soft and tender.
  • You want to keep the fat from melting and breaking down before you cook the meatballs. So keep your meat and other ingredients as cold as possible.
  • To prevent your meatballs from crumbling and falling apart, do not overcrowd them in the skillet while searing them.
  • You can also make the meatballs ahead of time and freeze in the refrigerator.
