Salisbury Steak

Who doesn't remember having Salisbury Steak as a kid?  Of course it probably wasn't healthy or homemade.  Guess what?  This is both!!  Granted it's not the sexiest dish to look at but boy does it hit the spot!  I adapted this recipe from a Weight Watchers recipe that I found a few years ago. It is husband, child and Mawmaw approved!

Salisbury Steak:
serves 6

1 1/2lbs 93% lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
1 piece of bread, torn into small pieces
1 can beef consommé, divided
1 can golden mushroom soup
2 egg whites
8oz mushrooms, sliced
2tsp cornstarch
1/2tsp black pepper
1T veg oil

Combine bread, beef, onion and egg whites in a large bowl.  Form into 6 equal sized oval patties.  Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.  Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side. Do in batches if necessary.  Remove the patties and put on a plate.  Put the mushrooms in the pan and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add in the beef consommé except for 1 Tablespoon. Whisk to combine.  Place patties back in and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  Mix reserved 1T of consommé with the 2tsp of cornstarch.  Whisk into the gravy.  Bring to a boil, and cook for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
