Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 lbs | Ground Beef |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| 3/4 cup | Chopped Onion |
| 1/2 cup | Worcestershire Sauce |
| 2 tsp | Black Pepper |

| 3 cloves | Garlic, minced |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 1 | Chopped Onion (for gravy) |
| 1 tbsp | Brown Sugar (for gravy) |
| 1 tbsp | Margarine (for gravy) |
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, milk, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and minced garlic. Mix well, but lightly, ensuring not to overwork the meat to avoid drying it out.
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly oil a 9 1/4 x 5 1/4-inch loaf pan.
-
Pour the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it gently into a loaf.
-
Bake the Salisbury loaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

After 40 minutes, carefully remove the loaf from the oven and drain excess grease.

Prepare the gravy while the loaf is baking. In a separate bowl, mix the gravy mix with water according to the package directions.
-
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the margarine.
-
Add the sliced onions to the skillet along with the brown sugar. SautΓ© until the onions are softened and have developed a medium brown color, approximately 15 minutes.
-
Once the onions are caramelized, add the mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Pour the prepared gravy into the skillet with the onion and mushroom mixture. Stir continuously until the gravy thickens and is heated through.
-
After draining excess grease from the loaf, pour the prepared gravy over the top of the loaf.
-
Return the loaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the gravy to soak into the meat.

Once done, remove the Salisbury loaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve slices of the delicious Salisbury Loaf with a generous spoonful of the savory onion-mushroom gravy on top.
