Description

One-skillet Salisbury steak recipe made with Campbell’s French Onion Soup—rich, comforting, and perfect for easy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can Campbell’s French Onion Soup
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 to 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the French onion soup, ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until fully combined.
  2. Shape the beef mixture into 6 oval patties of equal size.
  3. Heat a large skillet (cast iron recommended) over medium-high heat. Brown patties on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side.
  4. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining soup with flour until smooth. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and water.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the patties in the skillet.
  7. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the patties evenly.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, peas, or roasted carrots.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier, more flavorful patties.
  • For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken.
  • This recipe freezes well—wrap patties individually for easy meal prep.
  • Mustard powder adds depth; don’t skip it unless necessary.
  • Use a fork to mix the beef to keep the patties tender and not overworked.
