Easy Recipe: Mock Salisbury Steak

Um, this kind of looks bad, doesn’t it?

Believe me, it is made with people food, not dog food. And it is food, not some other substance.

It tastes better than it looks. And it only uses 3 pantry ingredients, not counting the mashed potatoes.

Mock Salisbury Steak

Ingredients:

1 – 16 oz. canned beef, drained (See, it’s people food.)

1 jar brown or beef gravy

1 can cream of mushroom soup

Instructions:

In saucepan, whisk together gravy and soup. Add drained beef and stir. Heat until desired temperature.

Serve over mashed potatoes.

Makes enough for 4 generous servings.

Wednesday Pop-Up: Recipe

I’m not a chef and I don’t have any claim to authentic Mexican recipes. However, I found a vegetarian tortilla soup recipe and modified it to make it with chicken. I added a few things, changed some other ingredients, and came up with the following recipe. It has good flavor and freezes well.

Tortilla Soup

1 (10 oz). can enchilada sauce

3 ½ cups chicken broth

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon cilantro

1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes

8 oz. corn (frozen or canned)

1 can black beans, drained

1 cup diced cooked chicken

4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into strips

Combine all ingredients except tortillas. Bring to a boil, then simmer ½ hour.

Add tortillas, bring to boil.

Serves 6-8.

Freezes well.
