Making Salisbury Steak

[twintubdexter]

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Aside from being relatively easy to prepare, I'm sure this is the kind of dish you could fix for company (no filet minion at my house) and as soon as they walked in they'd say "what smells so good?" Presentation is very important, both for the eyes and the nose. Thanks for posting. </span>

Heinz ketchup is made here with sugar only, no cornsyrup. Some smaller bottles are still glass.

Ken - I've noticed small glass bottles of Heinz at Kroger recently - I think they are the only brand in glass. Also in a glass bottle is their chili sauce, which I actually like more than the ketchup!

I think I recall seeing a major brand ketchup in a special nostalgic style bottle (which I think was noted on the label) at some point in the last 5 years or so. Problem was, of course, it was the modern product with HFCS...

 

Otherwise, it seems like it's all plastic around here now. I don't buy ketchup very often--it may be years since I did so--but I can't recall seeing anything but a plastic bottle, not even on the organic stuff I saw on display in one store recently.

I wonder if this is strange...but as far as I know, I don't think I've ever had Salisbury steak. I don't remember the name (apart from seeing it on, say, frozen dinner packages), and I certainly don't remember ever seeing anything like the end result of this recipe on my plate.

 

It seems a bit odd, in a way, because I can imagine my mother making this. She used cheap ground beef the most of any meat IIRC, and I can see Salisbury steak as being another option.

 

The mention of Lipton's soup above, however, does remind me of my mother using Lipton's onion soup for meatloaf.

Actually you're not alone. As I think back I can remember ground beef being used for meatloaf, hamburgers, meatballs with spaghetti, added to baked ziti, some kind of breaded meatballs that were baked, one of the layers in a 7 layer casserole and used in a two crust stuffed pizza. But cant recall ever having Salisbury Steak.

Ketchup in glass

I recently bought some at Meijer.

Eddie, if they don't have it in your local grocery stores, you might want to check with an institutional foods distributor. I'd imagine you'd have to buy a full case.

A couple years ago I bought a case of the glass 2.25 oz. bottles to give as gifts - everyone really liked them.

I usually buy the plastic bottle, but sometimes get it in the #10 can if I'm making salad dressing.
