*picture coming soon*

SALISBURY STEAKS:

In a bowl, mix together:
1 lb lean ground beef (10% fat)
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tbsp onion soup mix
1 tsp mrs. dash original table blend

Shape into 4 oval patties. Sprinkle both sides of patties with pepper. Brown patties on stove top for about 1 minute each side and then transfer to a 9X13 baking dish.

Mix together:
1 jar of beef gravy (I used heinz fat free beef gravy)
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I used healthy choice, low fat)

Pour soup/gravy combo over the beef patties. Optional: top with onion slices if you like.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Calorie count: 230 per salisbury steak patty, 65 calories per 1/2 cup gravy (the amount usually clinging to the green beans and patty)

GREEN BEANS:
1 package frozen green beans
I put the green beans directly into the pan with the patties and then pour the gravy over them. They come out yummy baking with the beef!
