The Best Salisbury Steak
Why I Love This Recipe
This is out of a Cuisine magazine. And it is the most amazing thing ever! It looks like a lot of ingredients and work, but really isn't too bad. I am incredibly lazy in the kitchen, so trust me, this is worth it. And when you taste it, you'll be glad you made the effort.
