Merlot & Mushroom Salisbury Steak - Savory Meal #2

Oh My!  Such a quick meal to fix.   This would make a fantastic meatloaf!    Melt in the mouth.  Very delicious.  I did do some modifications - used ground turkey breast and I used the bread cubes from a stuffing mix (crushed).  I also used Tastefully Simple's TS Eatwell Avocado Oil in lieu of the vegetable oil.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
Merlot & Mushroom Slow Cooker Sauce, divided
1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
8 oz sliced fresh button mushrooms
cooked mashed potatoes (optional)

Instructions:  Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup Merlot & Mushroom Slow Cooker Sauce, bread crumbs and egg in a medium bowl.  Form into 6 patties.  Place patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Cook 2-3 minutes; turn over and continue cooking 2-3 minutes.  Remove from skillet and set aside.  Add oil to skillet.  Add onions and mushrooms, saute 3-4 minutes or until browned.  Add remaining Merlot & Mushroom Slow Cooker Sauce and 1/2 cup water.  Add patties and simmer 8-10 minutes.  Server over mashed potatoes, if desired.  Makes 4-6 servings.

Make Ahead & Freeze Instructions:  Assemble beef patties and place in a gallon resealable freezer bag with a piece of parchment or wax paper between patties.  freeze.  Thaw and cook according to directions above.
