After school snacks while I was growing up included ‘boil in a bag’ quickies and one of my favorites was Salisbury Steak.

James Salisbury was an American physician and chemist who advocated a meat-centered diet. The term Salisbury steak for a ground beef patty served as the main course has been used in the United States since 1897 and was purported to improve digestion.

The final recipe in my first EveryPlate box was for Salisbury steak. I still dice onion too large and I never made mashed potatoes from scratch previously that I can recall.

Again, the produce, seasonings and meat were of amazing quality. These are great reasons to use their service but the added bonus are the recipes they send which will improve your repertoire and cooking skills! Below are my results. Try EveryPlate for an amazing introductory price!
