Made with ground beef, gravy, onions, and mushrooms, this recipe for Homemade Salisbury Steak is definitely comfort at it’s finest!
Back in January, the fam and I took a day trip to Roswell, New Mexico. It was recommended by a few spouses that I knew so we jumped in our mini van and headed for a visit.
Why is Roswell, NM so popular? In 1947, a UFO incident “supposedly” occurred 75 miles away in the near by town of Corona. The investigation and debris were handled by Roswell Army Air Field officials. This, in turn, put Roswell on the map.
I think it is safe to say that the whole town is UFO & alien crazy! There were alien pictures everywhere and even the street lights were in the shape of alien heads.
Their McDonald’s??? Shaped like a UFO! The kids had fun playing in it though 🙂
We toured the UFO museum….which was interesting….but a little bit fah-reaky!
Even though the town of Roswell is a little on the quirky side, we enjoyed the trip.
This recipe came from the cookbook I purchased at the museum’s souvenir shop. Check out the alien cooking on the stove 🙂
I ended up in a nice conversation with one of the employee’s and she highly recommended the salisbury steak recipe in the book. She said, and I quote, “You will never go back to eating a salisbury tv dinner ever again after trying this recipe!”
She was right!
The very first time we made this, we kept expecting aliens to pop out of the corners of the kitchen. One awesome tidbit about this cookbook….it was written by an Air Force wife who had traveled the world before settling down in Roswell 😉
This recipe has been in our favorite’s file since January. We hope it will make it to yours as well 😉
Obviously I would suggest some mashed potatoes and a vegetable side of sorts (peas, beans, corn, etc..). If mashed potatoes aren’t your thing, try making a baked potato or skip the potato all together and try making these awesome Cracker Barrel CopyCat Biscuits.

Do you add anything to the hamburger patties?
Nope. The flavor is in the gravy mix and the mushroom/onion mixture.
