Served hot over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, buttery egg noodles, or warm white rice, this warm and satisfying main dish is pure comfort food that adults and kids alike will thoroughly enjoy.

5-Ingredient Oven Vintage Salisbury Steak Bake

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and Shape Patties: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the 1 1/2 pounds ground beef into 4 to 6 oval patties and place them in a single layer in a 9×13 glass baking dish.

2. Whisk the Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 packet onion soup mix, 1/10.5 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 packet brown gravy mix, and 1 1/2 cups water until mostly smooth.

3. Pour Sauce Over Meat: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the raw patties, covering them as much as possible so they stay moist while baking.

4. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is hot and bubbling.

5. Rest and Serve: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the warm, rich gravy over the patties and serve hot with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
