If you’re my age and bought lunch in the high school cafeteria, then you surely remember salisbury steak. Salisbury steak is a beef patty, or bunless hamburger if you prefer, that is served with gravy. I have always enjoyed salisbury steak. As a young wife I bought the frozen packages. Over the years, I learned how to make it myself. At some point I decided I wanted the flavor of salisbury steak in a meatball form. And so I set out to make salisbury meatballs. Take a salisbury steak recipe and make meatballs instead of patties and basically you have easy salisbury meatballs. If you’ve had meatballs in brown gravy you’ve basically had salisbury steak meatballs. I like to make this simple recipe with a good amount of gravy, so that I can use that gravy on the potatoes. The final dish is a filling and budget-friendly comfort food that your family will love. Here’s how I make Instant Pot Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs.
