Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy (Weight Watchers)

Salisbury steak has been one of my favorites since Dad made it for me back in the early 1980's. I grew up on "burger steaks" and Salisbury steak is just a glorified burger steak. 

I made this with mashed potatoes - which isn't really healthy or low cal in any way. So while the recipe is a Weight Watchers recipe, I made it not so. Hahaha. 

I only made one modification to this recipe and that was I didn't add the bread into the ground beef. I really don't think it was necessary and decided to not add it.

Serves 4

1 lb extra lean ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

2 slices thin-whole wheat bread, cut into cubes

Salt and Pepper

2 tsp olive oil

1/4 lb white mushrooms, sliced

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1 T flour

1 c reduced sodium beef broth

Stir together beef, onion, bread, salt and pepper. Mix well. Shape into four oval patties. 

Spray a large nonstick skillet with non stick spray and set over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook until well browned, 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. 

Return the skillet to the heat. Swirl oil, then add mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour, stirring to coat. Add the broth and bring to a boil; stirring until sauce bubbles and thickens.

Return the patties to the skillet, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered until cook through, 4-5 minutes.
