Salisbury Steak for Two

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, and 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined.

If the mixture is too sticky, add the panko breadcrumbs and mix them in to help bind the patties.

Form the mixture into two even-sized patties.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.

Remove the browned patties from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced yellow onion and butter. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions have softened.

Pour in the water and whisk in the packet of brown gravy mix until there are no clumps.

For extra flavor, stir in the optional additional Worcestershire sauce.

Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon some of the gravy and onions over the top of the patties.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 12 minutes, allowing the patties to cook through and the gravy to thicken.

Halfway through simmering, uncover and spoon more gravy over the patties.

Serve hot, garnished with dried parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes and peas.
