THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ORIGINAL SAUCE
FOR SALISBURY STEAK.__________________________-

I also have a special recipe that I especially like to
use, for thick cuts of beef like Top Sirloin or London
Broil. It is so simple that it is ridiculous but SUPERB!! I'll bet it would be excellent with Salisbury also. Can't hurt to try.

Pam a Casserole dish big enough to hold all of the
paddies. (cut the Top Sirloin or London Broil into 1 inch cubes)

Pre-heat oven to 275† Yes! 275†

Make Salisbury Steaks per recipe but DO NOT COOK
THEM and arrange in the casserole dish.

Pour a 10+oz can of cream of mushroom soup over all
(use one can for each 1 1/2 lbs of meat)

Thatís it, no water, no milk, no salt, no pepper, nothing else.

Bake at 275† for 4 hours (yes 4 hours) cover for the
first hour then uncover and leave it alone.

You'll be surprised!!
