TV Dinner Day: Salisbury Steak with Brownie
A most excellent Salisbury Steak recreation from Chef John with the probably the best mushroom gravy I've ever had.
Served with mashed potatoes and green beans, with ramiken brownies for desert. My nephew had been expecting an actual steak steak instead of a fried meatloaf, but he scarfed it down.
Humble addition: I added a bit of Better than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base for an extra beefy boost. I almost always use this little hack to add extra chickeniness or beefiness to stuff.
All of this is way fancier than it should be if I were trying to make an actual retro TV dinner, but looking at the classic pics, it's probably for the better.
I actually thought I used to eat a thing called a "TV Dinner" but the actual original "TV Brand Frozen Dinner" from Swanson predated me by probably 30 years, so I must have just been eating generic frozen dinners.
