Living on a budget with my parents back in the day, we didn’t have a lot of options when it came to dinner time. My Mom would do a lot of casseroles, stews, goulashes, spaghetti… things like that. Whatever she could affordably throw together and serve a big group of people with is what she did. She always cooked as if she was feeding an army, but she really just wanted to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Just about everything she made was a nice leftover meal.
When our parents had a little bit of extra cash on hand, we would get a real special treat… salisbury steak. Ground meat was cheap, but when she had to make six steaks, it wasn’t something that we could afford to have all the time. When we did… oh happy day!
Surprisingly, all these years later, I still have the craving for those steaks once in a while. It’s a good thing I found this recipe on Cinnamon-Spice & Everything Nice to duplicate exactly what she used to make. My kids and husband love them just as much now as I did then, so we have them every once in a while with mashed potatoes and green beans… yummy!
