Vegan Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy ~

The retro TV dinner classic made with all plant-based ingredients.

This is seriously good stuff!

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!

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 Salisbury steaks covered in rich mushroom gravy have 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.

The key to achieving the perfect throwback experience is using a good quality ground beef substitute and broth. 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, I like Better Than Bouillon’s No-Beef Base.

Serve alongside mashed potatoes and peas for the full classic effect.

This one is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients for Vegan Salisbury Steak:

You will need:

vegan egg substitute – I like VeganEgg or Bob’s Red Mill for this recipe

mild-flavored plant milk, such as oat or unsweetened almond
dry onion soup mix
vegan Worcestershire sauce – I use Wizard brand
ground black pepper

Prepare vegan egg replacer:

STEP ONE: Prepare the egg replacer according to package directions. Set aside.

Make the patties:

STEP TWO: Into a large mixing bowl, add vegan ground beef, bread crumbs, egg replacer mixture, milk, and 1/2 package onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
