French Onion Salisbury Steak

I hardly ever cook "burger" type things on the stove. When I do fry burger type things it sends me back down memory lane for some reason. I have vague, but pleasant, memories of the smell of frying burgers at mom's house and grandma's house.  We stopped frying when we married dad and learned about bbq'ing.

This recipe was exceptionally good. I loved the onion flavor the burger had as well as the deep flavor the gravy had. I made mashed potatoes to go along side with it, and the gravy over the potatoes was perfect.
