While some people will be tempted to make the gravy from scratch, and that is always an option there is really no need to when you can get a great one in a brown gravy mix which is what we used for this recipe. The only thing we like to add is some good ole mashed potatoes so grab a plate and dig in because it is awesome.

Directions

Roasted Garlic:

1-2 heads of garlic
1/2 tsp olive oil
Dash of sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the top of the head off so every clove of garlic is exposed. Place on a small square of tinfoil (easy clean up). Drizzle with olive oil and salt to taste.
2. Fold edges of tinfoil together and twist to make a completely sealed bundle.
3. Place in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the garlic. Let cool before serving. Squeeze to remove the roasted cloves.

Rest of the meal: 

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, once done remove to a paper towel to drain.
2. Remove all but 1 teaspoon of bacon grease from the skillet then add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
3. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook until soft and tender, about 5-6 minutes, stirring often.
4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
5. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil to the same skillet over medium high heat.
6. Add the mushrooms once the pan is very hot. Let them sit, without stirring for 3-4 minutes for a nice golden color.
7. Flip the mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes until golden brown.
8. In a small saucepan, prepare gravy per instructions. Once it’s thickened, add the golden mushrooms and simmer.
9. Combine the ground beef, bacon bits, caramelized onion, roasted garlic bulb, steak seasoning, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in a large bowl.
10. Form into oval shaped patties, not too thick or thin. Add the last teaspoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat.
11. Once it’s hot, add the salisbury steak patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness.
12. Place the cooked steak patties on a serving dish and cover with mushroom gravy.
