Salisbury Steak, Mushroom Gravy, and Latkes

We had some ground beef and shitaki mushrooms that needed to be used and decided to go with Salisbury steak, even though we had it in January after never before making it.  We also had some frozen hash browns that I thawed that morning because they were getting frosty, and I’d been wanting to make latkes (shredded potato pancakes).

Once again we used Lynda’s Salisbury Steak recipe from Lynda’s Recipe Box, which I followed except we decided to grill the meat – click on the link for the recipe.

For the latkes, I used pam’s recipe for Easy, Easy Potato Pancakes from Pam’s Midwest Kitchen Korner and followed it except for the brand on potatoes and I used a canola & bacon grease mix for frying.

Even though it was cool outside, I decided to cook everything on the gas grill.  Note Bev’s daffodils in the woods.

I started the mushroom gravy on the side burner than moved it over to the grill burners so I could cook the latkes on the side burner. 

I had to be careful with the steak as they were pretty delicate.

Bev has been on a cooked carrot kick lately and It’s been years since I've had peas and carrots so that was our veggie dish - looks like a massive amount of food, but it was a small plate.

Everything was delicious but we decided we preferred the steak cooked in a pan – which is good since it’s easier.  This was our first time to make latkes but now that I know how easily they can be made with frozen hash browns, it won't be the last.

We also had another patty melt with some of the burger.

For Blonds Again

There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank 'Yoo-hoo!' she shouts, 'How can I get to the other side?'

The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, 'You ARE on the other side.'

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
