Salisbury Steak and Potato Skillet

Salisbury steak is a budget alternative to steak. It’s made of ground beef and shaped into the form of a steak, typically served with a flavorful gravy poured on top and perhaps some mashed potatoes or fries.

In fact, you might say it makes the dish even better. Serve the Salisbury steak and potato skillet with your favorite kind of vegetable, perhaps something like peas, broccoli or green beans on the side. If you prefer salad, that’s fine.
