Very comforting, incredibly delicious, and a classic! These Salisbury Steak Meatballs are a great easy dinner option that you can make at home. These delightful meatballs are my number one favorite among all the meatballs I have tried. These easily steal the number one spot on my list!

To make these Salisbury Steak Meatballs, all you need are just a few simple ingredients that you might already have on hand. These meatballs resemble a steak and are amazing to serve over mashed potatoes or noodles. For an even easier meal, freeze the meatballs for up to 3 months or store them in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. The best part is you can do the same with the gravy!

Step 1: Place the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk in a large bowl. Mix well using your hands until just combined. Then, form the mixture into meatballs.

Step 2: In the flour, lightly coat the mixture and shake the excess off.

Step 3: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches to the skillet and cook until all sides are browned.

Step 4: To the slow cooker, transfer the meatballs.

Step 5: Place the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water in a large bowl. Mix well until blended and smooth. Then, pour this over the meatballs.

Step 6: Set the meatballs to cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 4 to 5 hours on low.

Step 7: Serve the meatballs immediately over egg noodles or rice. Enjoy!

Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time: 40 mins | Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins | Yield: 12 juicy Lucy sliders

This Loaded Juicy Lucy Sheet Pan Slider is incredibly easy to make with the least amount of effort. Sauteing, grilling, or shaping is not required. Simply layer the burger meat, cheese, and bacon on a sheet pan and bake. In the end, you’ll have a delicious giant hamburger that you can slice into individual servings!

INGREDIENTS

BURGERS:

12 strips of uncooked bacon

2 1/4 lbs lean ground beef

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

6 slices of American cheese

1/2 c. grated onion

6 slices of mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp kosher salt (or to taste)

2 tsp black pepper

BURGER SAUCE:

1/4 c. thousand island dressing

Patty Melt

by Rebecca August 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

Time: 1 hr | Yield: Makes 6 sandwiches

Patty melt is a staple at home. It is so easy to make and ready in a snap. Rye bread is sandwiched with sweet caramelized onions, melted cheese, and ground beef patty and cooked to golden brown perfection. My husband is obsessed! He pairs this Patty Melt with a fruity Belgian-style beer for an afternoon meal or dinner.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons canola oil

1½ pound ground beef

2 yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced

12 thin slices of cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese

12 slices of rye bread

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make Patty Melt

Step 1: Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Into six 1/4-inch thick patties slightly wider and longer than the bread, divide the mixture.

Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have softened and browned. To a bowl, transfer the onions, then wipe the skillet clean.

Step 3: In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add 2 patties to the hot oil and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes total until both sides are well browned. To a plate, transfer the patties. Wipe the skillet and cook the rest of the patties, adding the remaining oil in between.

Step 4: With some onions, top every 6 slices of bread followed by a slice of cheese and 1 patty. Then, top each patty with another slice of cheese and top with the top bun. Spread the butter on top and bottom of the sandwiches using a table knife.

Step 5: Heat the same skillet on medium heat. Cook the sandwiches in 3 batches for about 6 minutes, flipping once until hot and golden brown.

Cheesy Bacon and Beer Sloppy Joes

by Rebecca August 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 30 mins | Total time: 35 mins | Servings: 4

Enjoy a decedent dinner with this over-the-top sloppy Joe with gooey cheese and smoky bacon. The addition of beer makes this sloppy Joe tastes better!

Ingredients

1/2 c. chopped onion

2 tbsp Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1 pound ground beef (at least 80% lean)

1/2 c. Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32 ounces carton)

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp Dijon mustard

12 slices of cooked bacon

2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)

4 burger buns, toasted

1 c. lager beer

How to make Cheesy Bacon and Beer Sloppy Joe

Step 1: Cook the beef in a 12-inch nonstick skillet for about 6 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat until the beef is completely cooked, stirring often. Then, add the flour. Stir and continue to cook for another minute. Pour in the beer and broth. Add the Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Stir well and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened, stirring often. Take the skillet off the heat and whisk in 1 c cheese followed by 4 crumbled bacon.

Step 2: Over the beef mixture, sprinkle the rest of the 1 c cheese. DO NOT STIR. Put the lid on and allow to rest for about 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Step 3: Onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns, spoon the mixture, and top with 2 bacon slices. On top, place the top toasted bun.

Tips:

Make sure not to stir the last cup of cheese and just let it melt on top of the beef mixture.

For an added crunch and to prevent the buns from getting soggy, take the time to toast them before topping them with the beef mixture.

For this recipe, I recommend using lager beer. It is lighter and will keep the dish from tasting hoppy, malty or bitter like some IPAs or ales.
