  • Bar-B-Lew's post here inspired me to make momma's Salisbury steak recipe.  This is a pretty straightforward recipe.  I'm sure that your favorite one will be just fine baked in your smoker.

    I use my BBQs and smokers like an oven during the hot part of the summer.  Not using the kitchen range oven keeps the kitchen cooler and adds a welcome smoke flavor if I want it.

    Ingredients
    2 pounds ground beef
    1 can (10¾ ounces) condensed golden mushroom or cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
    1 cup quick-cooking oats
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    ½ cup each chopped green pepper, celery and onion
    ½ teaspoon salt
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    ¾ cup water
    ¼ teaspoon pepper

    Directions
    • Preheat your pit to 350°F.
    • In a large bowl, combine the oats, eggs, green pepper, celery, onion, salt and garlic.
    • Crumble beef over the mixture and mix well.
    • Shape into six or eight rectangular patties.  (Use the baking dish upside down on the hamburger spread out on a cutting board as the pattern and then slice the whole into patties.)
    • Brown the patties on both sides in a skillet.
    • Place patties in an ungreased 13-in. × 9-in. baking dish.
    • Combine the soup, water and pepper; pour it over the beef.
    • Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.


    Browned and in the baking dish.


    Out of the smoker and in the center of the dinner table.


    Dinner is served.

  • With the name of the dish this is going to sound silly, but a true Americana dish for me!  It looks great!

  • Nice stuff.  Did the pellet grill add any distinguishing smoke flavor?

    Mild.  I should have cranked up the smoke.  I wanted more.  Marcia & kids said that could notice it, but they're kind to me.

    I might not notice it as much as them because I'm in the smoke, but it was so hot on the patio that I was hardly near it when it was cooking.  (Hooray for remote monitoring!)

    Buy a remote reading pit thermometer.

  • That really looks good. We have to give it a go.

  • I am going to try and make this tonight.  Looking at the finished meal, I think I can almost duplicate it.  Have fresh cucumbers from garden, not sure if I have peas in the freezer!

  • Well I'm finely on the boat for a few weeks (instead of the normal few months) of cooler weather, so no pit, but this recipe looks so good it will be on the oven menu later this week.  :lick:

  • I just cooked it for a new neighbor moving in.  They raved about it.

  • I did not make any late last Fall to eat during the Winter like I have in years past.  I will have to remedy that this year.

  • No cream of mushroom, so not having it tonight!

  • Looking at the recipe, i could basically use one of my meatloaf recipes for this? 

    Also wondering it it could be done at a lower more smoker temp like 200 to 225 for the smoke flavor. Maybe 60 to 90 minutes. Internal temp of 160ish I would think.

    I may have to give this a shot. The GF isn't a mushroom person but I could pick out the chunks I guess.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • This was called hamburger steak when I was a kid.  Always served with brown onion gravy,  mashed potatoes and green beans.
    I haven't had it in many years.
    Yours looks great, thanks.  ;)

  • The only salisbury steaks I’ve had are Swanson’s and school’s, I think I’m going to give this one a shot, thanks for sharing.

    Go for it at smoking temperature.  I think it's much like a meatloaf mixture.

    Soup:  Campbell's makes several Cream of ___________ soups; celery, broccoli, onion...  Maybe you could emulsify the Cream of Mushroom in a blender before using it.

    EDIT:  I think maybe the next time I make it I'll double the gravy to provide more for the mashed potatoes.

  • Looks very good.

    Is that side in the bowl cucumbers?
    We slice up the cukes, add sour cream and thinly sliced onions, then grind some pepper on it.
