Vegan Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy ~
The retro TV dinner classic made with all plant-based ingredients.
This is seriously good stuff!

Vegan Salisbury Steak Recipe
I had a craving for simple and satisfying, old school stick to your ribs comfort food and this dinner of vegan Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and peas was exactly what I was looking for! This simple recipe delivers big flavor that even a meat eater will love!
The first bite took me right back to the nostalgia of my childhood of eating TV dinners and watching The Brady Bunch in our wood-paneled living room.
These juicy vegan hamburger steaks covered in rich mushroom gravy have just the right texture and all the same make-you-want-to-lick-the-plate classic homestyle goodness you expect but without the heavy meat and dairy ingredients many of us grew up with. My whole family loves this classic dish!
The key to achieving the perfect throwback experience with vegan and vegetarian salisbury steaks similar to a traditional recipe is using a good quality ground beef substitute and vegan beef-style vegetable broth (no vital wheat gluten or soy sauce here). In my opinion, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods make the best ground products on the market right now and I have used both with this recipe.
For the broth called for in the savory gravy, I like Better Than Bouillon’s No-Beef Base.
Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes and peas or green beans for the full classic effect.
This one is sure to become a family favorite!
