Salisbury Steak - TV Dinner Style - Food Wishes

- čas přidán 25. 06. 2024
- Back when I was a kid, and our parents didn’t have time to make a meal, we’d get to enjoy something called a TV dinner. They weren’t that good, but we didn’t care, since we got to set up our specially designed trays, and eat in front of the screen. One of the most popular TV dinner entrees of that era was the Salisbury steak, and this is my not-too-modern take on that classic dish. Enjoy!

Chef John is officially a savage😂😂😂
That line was epic!! 👏🏼🤣
😂
I cried I laughed so hard
Word!! 😂😂😂
You are after all the cheeky bloke of your morbid joke.
I’m 50 and this dish is my childhood! 💕❤️ TV dinners were so exciting at my house! My mom was a single mom and we would eat TV dinners while watching Miami Vice 👍 I can still hear the theme music now .... and every. Single. Time. I would burn myself while unwrapping the tin foil 🤪
Thanks for sharing your memory....Very sweet.
Hrmmm... I don't think they've been gone that long, have they? I'm quite a bit younger than you are and we ate them when I was a little kid. Just wondering...
@@r.mcbride2837 oh, they're definitely still around.
Miami Vice was the most expensive TV series ever at the time, not because of the actors pay, but because of the royalty fees for the music they used.
Miami Vice 😳 Dang young man! I’m thinking more like Mr. Ed and the Ed Sullivan Show. The Beatles in 1963, 🤦♂️. My parents thought they were ‘weird’ and needed haircuts. 😁🤣 I loved the Salisbury Steak TV dinners 😋. That was a long time ago in a simpler and more gracious world. BTW, 67 now 😳😁.
I remember my dad - also a professional chef - making Salisbury steak at home. He'd use an empty, clean sardine tin to form his patties.
Mike D'Amour that’s a great idea. I always have trouble making my patties look like steaks. I’m going to try that. Great tip thanks
That’s a fantastic tip!
Great tip! Cheers to your father, im sure he is an awesome person!
Genius.
Damn. Didn't read this properly and used a half-empty, dirty sardine can.
So delicious I decided to x4 this recipe, made a huge batch of mashed potatoes and got some frozen corn.. and then I made 16 actual TV dinners!.. froze them and now I can reminisce the old days and have a good quality Salisbury steak. Microwave the frozen dinners for 3 min plus 3 min, resting a bit between. What a treat, and now I don't have to cook every night.. they are waiting for me in the freezer.
This gravy is to die for.
Cool..... There is something sort of nifty about that dish... Don't know what it is, but it does seem to fill a sort of crazy need we seem to have from time to time... Perhaps that is known as "slumming"?...... 🤣😅🤣😂😂😂 Hey, at least it ain't hurting anyone asides Swanson's and Banquet.... or Encore.. Boy have they gone to crap.......... And overly expensive too... Used to like those lil' pot pies every now and then also..... $1.80 ea. now!!!! Crazy!!!! Take care girl.....
Wholesome
I wonder why onion is not added to the hamburger??
Save your tv dinner trays and reuse!!
Now you’re cookin w/ gas!!
Figuratively speaking 😋
"But it doesn't matter, he's dead." Omg Chef John, I laughed so hard I choked on my coffee.
My favorite line in the video 🤣🤣🤣
This is proof that chef john can read anything in his voice and it's gold
I was about to post this, them I saw yours. Whew, I fell out when he said that.
@@Silver.Forest I'm sure I wasn't the first, lol. There are probably dozens if not hundreds of people remarking on it. One of the funniest lines ever and so well delivered!
Omg me too ! I screamed 😂😭
I love Salisbury steak.
Yes! That is where I had my first Salisbury Steak... in a TV Dinner!!
Oh, how I miss
"Those Good Ol' Days"!
I made this tonight with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli drizzled with butter. We ate in the living room on our TV trays. Our show of choice….Gunsmoke. My hubby and I are both 65. It was delicious! And I feel a little sorry for those young-uns out there that never got to experience this as a child. Thank you for taking me back to the simpler life! 🥰
Great comment!
Yessir, those were some good days...
No butter. Olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper is all you need on broccoli.
@@pauljordan4452 hmm. I’ll have to try it your way. Do you mix the oil and lemon juice before you put it on the broccoli?
Are you sure you were not at my house. LOL Sound like me and my hubby.
@@cperm1 No, I microwave it, mix in the olive oil and season it. Four minutes will do because it has to be crunchy.
"But it doesn't matter, he's dead".
Omg I can't stop laughing. Chef john has a wonderfully wicked sense of humor.
Me too! lol
This was the line that got me as well.
''wait hold on, my melted butter dam broke. Lemme fix that"
😂🤣😂🤣😂 That’s why I love him soooo much!
He probably killed the poor man just so he could tell this joke in a CZcams video many years later
Sitting in the living room with the tv tables and your tv dinner on it, watching tv....the good ol’ days😆
Chef John, I noticed that you weren't eating your green beans. Finish every last one or you don't get a cup of Jello with canned fruit cocktail in it for dessert.
I hope you know that those "aspic" dishes and desserts have been making a comeback lately! Ugh. Gelatin comes from the hides and hooves of animals. You can use agar instead, which comes from sea vegetables... and agar gelatin doesn't melt at room temp, the way gelatin does.
Used to hate any form of vegetables when I was still very young. These days, I'd gladly finish any and all vegetables like greenbeans on my plate(except bitter-lemon, yuck!). They're quite delicious and sometimes my body just looks for them when I'm feeling weary and fatigued
Or a pudfing pop
greens mess-o-greens I am am omnivour I devour all, beef, starch and greens too!(and carrots when I pulle'm off the shelf!)
Uh, did you forget the little mini marshmallows?
Loved tv dinners! Plus my dad saying "Billy, turn to channel 9!" I'm Billy and the remote too.
More foil on the rabbit ears!
Hi, Billy! What were you watching on Channel 9?
The best part about those Friday night date nights my parents always took were the fact that we could choose our very own TV dinner, whatever we wanted! and indeed we watched Ed Sullivan with the babysitter when they were out. Salisbury steak on a metal TV tray you were my go to! I have GOT to try this recipe!
😂😂😂
@@joycebrannen1943 I know I am late answering your question but here goes. The news was on then on WGN 9 Chicago.
Salisbury Steak with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy has been a Top Five favorite meal of mine since I was a young boy. And yes, I can vaguely recall watching The Ed Sullivan Show with my parents on Sunday nights, after dinner. Thank you, Chef John. Stay safe.
Chef John's version doesn't look anything like the grayish, spongy version the school Lunch Lady would slop on our tray in the '70's.
The one I was served in jail smelled great. Gagged on the first bite.
Also was schooled in the 70s,ours surprisingly good,though I must admit we had quite foxy lunch ladies so memory might be a bit askew.
I remember a meat that fell apart like talcum powder.
@@steveg8322 "Foxy" lmao, how 70's of you...
The 70s lunch ladies still made a far better Salisbury steak than what we got in those gawdawful foil tray TV dinners. I don't see how anyone could remember those fondly! Today's TV dinners are a big advance, being at least up to lunch-lady quality.
"But it doesn't matter he's dead" 🤣
Wow, Chef. I think there's more *salt* on that steak than u thought! lol
It was a great delivery. 🤣
Then onto “Opps, my melted butter damn broke” 😂
Forgot to mention how much I admire the gravy recipe, especially the way you cook them in the butter which returns after the water evaporates - so brilliant! I believe you have completely solved my gravy issues for life.
Actually TV dinners were a treat way back then. Swanson's fried chicken dinner in those tin trays were the best! I love salisbury steak, too. Homemade is best!
5 stations and I was the remote!! :)
I laughed out loud at the childhood flashbacks your comment gave me!
🤣 And the antenna
Luxury.. we didn’t get a second tv channel until 92.
Three, and my aunt two doors down got a couple of more (PBS and what would now be Fox entertainment), so I was at her place a lot for Doctor Who and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
One station (ABC) remotes were years in the future. Could only eat at the kitchen table.
John, you never let me down. I made this last night, and it was flipping fantastic! The only changes I made were I added some minced garlic to the veggies after they were browned, and I added a little kitchen bouquet because the gravy wasn't as dark as I like.
I have made several of your recipes over the past year, and all have turned out excellent. Please keep up the good work!
I made this too. it’s one of my favs of his recipes.
I made it too - I added some more pepper and thyme to the gravy and it was the best ever. Gravy is one of my favorite things and this is the best I've ever made.
For the Steaks:
1 pound 85% lean ground beef
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 large egg, beaten
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
For the Gravy:
2 tablespoons salted butter
12 large white button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup diced onion
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cups high-quality, low-sodium beef broth
salt to taste
2 tablespoons salted butter
This was absolutely delicious. Chef John isn’t lying when he says it’s one of the best tasting gravy’s. I’ll be making this a lot.
I'm in. My son was so excited for steak, then disappointed it was hamburger, then over the moon once he tasted it. He asked if that's how it was when we listened to radio back in my day. He will be ungrounded in 2022.
Mushroom gravy really is one of the tastiest of gravies. I also love brown onion gravy, which is very simple but oh, so tasty!
@@kezkezooie8595 do you think one could use dehydrated mushrooms?
@@leelaural You could use them, although I never have for mushroom gravy but you'd have to rehydrate them first. I've used them in other recipes though and they worked well. There are many videos on youtube that shows you how to rehydrate them along with quite a few recipes. I hope that helped :)
I’ll sometimes make the gravy by itself. Try it on a split baked potato.
You are amazing! I have been trying to get my Salisbury Steak “right” for most of my 60 years. This looks like it is perfect and of course, I take your word for it. Thank you so very much for another wonderful dish. Blessings from Texas 😩🙏
This was an amazing recipe - totally brought back memories of the late 60’s - 70’s with the TV dinners (as a kid we thought they were a treat). It’s the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce that’s totally transforms this from a standard hamburger steak! I did add a quarter cup of finely diced green pepper to the meat as I seem to recall seeing flecks of something in the meat from the TV tray experience. Delicious. And the gravy is a killer - will totally do this again! Thanks Chef John.
Looks good Chef John. Thanks. I'll add it to my list of your great comfort food recipes.
We were poor when I was a kid and a Swanson turkey dinner was a big treat.
Sometimes we even had olives to go with it. 😄
Today I *finally* made this recipe and it was amazing. I served it with mashed potatoes and stewed pears, which I thought were a beautiful sweet and fresh contrast to the richness of the mash and the gravy.
Stewed pears?! Wow I need to try that sounds yummy!
@@rosxjun Here's a recipe for typically Dutch stewed pears. It's presented as a dessert here, but traditionally they're served as vegetables to your meal. Hope you like it.

I've got a Hungry Man in the freezer. I've eaten at 3 Michelin star restaurants and I can cook, but a Hungry Man hits the spot sometimes.
I'm dating myself, but as a child, I remember when they came in foil and were cooked in the oven. They were much better than the current microwave ones in plastic (or at least they were according to my childhood memories). I remember eating them on a TV tray in the living room at my grandparents' house back in the early '80s.
Gotta have a salisbury steak tv dinner every now and then
@@skyhawk_4526 My mother was a great cook and owned a bakery when I was a kid. We sat at the table every night for a multi course meal. Aluminum Swanson on a tv table for 60 Minutes, Wild Kingdom and Wonderful World of Disney was a special treat.
Totally agree, they are a guilty pleasure. I cooked for years in a higher end restaurant and wow people to this day at home but I still love things like this. A crispy Totino’s frozen pizza ranks up there pretty high as well.
Oh yeah. Once, my microwave went kaput so I cooked that Hungry Man in an oven and it was a life changing experience.
Oh, that looks incredibly delicious and quite comforting especially during stressful times. It's like going home to mom's.
I made this for first time and it was literally one of the best meals of my life. Thank you!
I also partake of the butter dam and must fix the breaks. So glad not to feel alone now. 😂😅
ME TOO!!!! LOL
"...or triangle shape if you're really weird."
*me looking up from my Salisbury dodecahedrons*
Welp...
🤣🤣🤣
Who could have a problem with that? Doesn't everyone have a kitchen drawer set aside for straight edges, assorted drafting triangles, and other essential tools for producing food geometry?
*me shuddering as I construct my Salisbury Klein bottle*
@@gilgameshmcballin Wow. I'm still only at the tesseract level myself. Those curved surfaces are way too advanced for me right now.
@@brettmiddleton7949 4D salisbury steaks really hit different, though. the gravy really clings to them with that extra dimension of flavor
I'm eating a gorgeous rib-steak as I watch this, and I'm actually feeling jealous, how is this possible?
Because steak sucks
@@RR_.comm_luck and you can kindly leave.
@@RR_.comm_luck you’re so edgy.
Thank you Chef John! This came out delicious! Wow! My hubby and I both are way past the 50 age marker, but I have never made this before so we couldn't wait to try it. We don't have TV trays (anymore), but we watch TV every night during dinner. You're the best!😄😋😉
Sorry-I like Swanson's TV Dinner better.... KIDDING!! Chef this is one of your best recipes ever. I'm 75 so I grew up with Ed S and TV dinners with the family in front of the 15" set. (We moved up to the 21" around the time Ike was re-elected). Thanks for the video and bringing back all the memories with your great TV dinner.
This is a great idea. I'd never thought about cooking it backwards, but it's ingenious. You'd get a much better tasting gravy being able to brown the mushrooms and onions for longer!
He really does love it. Never seen him eat most of the recipes he graces us with.
It turned out so very good. The whole family loved it. The better brother was the secret ingredient.
The king of frozen dinners was the Swanson Italian Style Dinner. Lasagna, chopped spinach, apple/peach compote and Tortoni pudding! In the late 60's Swanson was king and they made the most awesome TV dinners! Remember the last time a TV dinner came with...soup? Golden age, man! Nowadays, though...Stouffer's Salisbury w/Mac and Cheese!
This is such a nostalgic and delicious dish! Love this recipe 😍
Yeah I’m gonna try make this tonight
I miss the real tv dinners , the Swanson in the aluminum tray. I'm a child of the 60's. Yes only 3 channels, and they would go off at midnight or so usually playing the national anthem
I miss the variety of ethnic meals we used to have, compared to now, but both aluminum and plastic trays leach chemicals into food when they heat up. Bec of that I rarely eat frozen meals anymore, and thank goodness they were a very occasional treat while growing up.
Oh yeah we ate enough of those in the early 60s. Mom would save the aluminum divided tray and fix dinners for Dad from left overs for him to take to work. Good times....
Swanson rules!!!
@@msr1116 we didnt know about all that, it was just good ,quick meal
I just came back to say that I've been making this delicious, easy and comforting dish regularly since you posted this recipe, and it never gets old. It's one of those timeless classics, and I also make it for my non red meat eating wife using impossible burger and a combination of the Better than Bouillon "not beef" base and their sauted onion base. She will eat fish, so the Worcestershire sauce is ok for her. It's great that way too. Every once in a while I feel the need to thank people who just made my life a bit better.
What a great production and sense of humor
I remember little green specs in the meat (in the 60’s), so I finely diced a jalapeño into the meat mix - LOVE this recipe!!!!!
i think that was parsley. It used to be a default herb/seasoning/spice used in damn near everything. They always used incredibly bland parsley and/or overcooked it so it was usually devoid of any flavor, I've always assumed it was a decorative thing and to fool people into thinking they were getting some vegetables in their mystery meat.
Fun fact: my oldest friend was in jail for a short period of time in the late 60s or early 70s and was on work detail, since he was about 200+ pounds of lean muscle they had him hauling in the meat for the kitchens. The county had him hauling in road kill to be ground up for the jails salsbury steaks, meat loaf, and hamburgers. He said that was the closest he's ever come to going vegetarian in his life.
@@arthas640 You're right in that it was curly parsley. However it wasn't intended to be bland; it was intended primarily to cleanse the breath of any hint of onion and (horrors) garlic. Jalapenos weren't available in most supermarkets in the 50s, especially outside the US Southwest.
When I make my Salisbury Steaks or Meatloaf, the only Parsley is the sprig of Curly Parsley placed on top as a decorative garnish.
Can you imagine a junior/middle or high school doing that? Mine did, it was a regional vocational technical high school and the Food Trades department ran the school cafeteria. This was back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Everything is different now with the regional school board all worried about gender equality and CRT.
You had students cooking for students, with supervision of course, and when you are cooking for your fellow students you had better do it right or move to another state!
Dang, I’m drooling all over myself! This looks so, so good-nothing like we ever got in a foil tray.
It always looked so good on the box.
I recently made this and it was superb! time well-spent
Lazy Dog restaurant chain offers TV dinners to go and the best one is Salisbury Steak. They're all delicious though. And yes, they come in an aluminum tray.
@@randyneilson3227 *Aluminium
I've never made Salisbury steaks before This was the best Salisbury steaks I've ever made!
I avoid ketchup so I used tomato sauce, a little honey and chili powder. It was seriously awesome.
I love watching him cook plus he has a nice smooth voice which makes it even better.
I think a whole series needs to be done with tv dinners! I think that'd be really cool and fun 😊
Im eating one right now lmao
@Mason
I agree!
But, they should be served in some sort of elegant foil tray with the wells for each food.
@@poxyclypse I wouldn't call them elegant but you just described mess hall trays.
@@samuelhowie4543 Yeah, I kinda was thinking of that. Maybe they could have some scrollwork done to them to make them fancier. But, then, they'd be trouble to clean. Still, I'd love to see Chef John do a TV Dinner series, as Mason suggested.
@@whitealliance9540 is it Salsbury steak
This looks amazing! I remember t.v. dinners and Jiffy Pop!
I just made this and ate while watching an episode of Columbo. Both were very good!
I say, ma'am, that's a great story, thanks so much for your time. Uh, one more thing, though. You say you made the Salisbury Steaks and you ate them while you were watching an episode of Columbo? But that show went off the air in the 1970's, and Peter Falk, bless him, he's dead. So could you explain to me how you came to be watching that 1970's television show while eating these two thousand twenty Salisbury Steaks, which are separated by fifty years?
_(Just my text impression of the great detective. Thanks for posting!)_
If Columbo got on your trail, you were toast. He was a beast. Thanks for the memories!
@@trublgrl Columbo is shown on MeTV and Sundance as of 2021. There's these things called reruns.
@@dansf2 Thanks for educating me. You must be really smart.
@@trublgrl I'm a genius.
This is an awesome recipe.. I made it too, but had to "age and marinate" the ground beef for two days as wife would not eat beef on Good Thursday and Good Friday, but hey, it's all for good.
Came out delicious as you'd expect but I have one recommendation: do not go overboard with with the Worcestershire sauce on the gravy ! stay with the safe 1 tbsp and all will be right. But if you do, you may want to add a tablespoon of sugar to counteract some of the acidity. Also, stay with 10-12 mushrooms if they are large like 1/ 1/2 inches... and 3 cups of the broth produced a lot of gravy/sauce... which is not a bad thing.
100% recommended.
The fuck is good thursday?
C'mon Chef John, over 50? Heck, I'm only in my mid 40's and still remember TV dinners you HAD to cook in the oven, because there was no microwave!
You couldn't Microwave them because they were in Aluminum Trays until the mid 80's
That's right, when did microwave come on the scene? I know our house didnt get one til the mid 80's
@@Timinator62 I'm old school and have patience. I still use my oven and hardly use the microwave.
@@charlesatlas9123 I have a huge Montgomery Ward's micro and it is in the basement. My kitchen is just 8' x 9'. You and I agree. My microwave is used maybe once or twice a month.
@@gena7359 ,
We got one in the early 70's when I was a teenager , as a matter of fact a friend told me just the other day he remember when we got it ,
We use to eat TV dinners in the early 60's when we were kids , had to cook them in the oven way back then , lol .
the gravy looks good. we have smth similar here in germany, called jägerschnitzel, which is just a schnitzel with a mushroom gravy (and sides ofc, mostly spätzle)... i dig it
Makes sense, salisbury steak was originally german style Hamburger steak. It was just renamed during WW1 to be more patriotic.
I'm from Berlin and for me Jägerschnitzel is something completely different - Jagdwurst breaded and fried, served with tomato sauce. One of my childhood favourites :-9
A dash of red wine wouldn't go amiss in the gravy
I really miss jägerschnitzel. And kassler.
@@thycauldron Breaded, fried JAGDWURST with tomato sauce....Eeeeww ;-)))
I just made this, and my boyfriend loved it. I am surprised at just how good it was since I have NEVER made this dish before. Just follow his instructions and BAM, great. I eat later in the evening and I am going to chow down when I do! Thank you for sharing such a yummy meal! Edit: I wanted to let people know that I added slightly to much broth to my gravy (my fault) as it was slightly to thin, so I added a few tbls. of a cornflour slurry and it came out great.
Western food
Made this!! Fabulous!! My fellas ate it up!! 13, 23, 53! LOL. Tripled the recipe, glad I did!
Just like Mama Swanson™️ used to make!😋
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Salisbury steak is one of my favorite comfort foods.
This is my second time making this and it comes out perfect every time! Thank you!
You are amazing, Chef John! I have occasionally watched your videos since 2007 and still remember the first ones you published on CZcams. God bless you.
He said, "my melted butter damn broke..." 😂 that was the icing on the cake, i just subscribed.
chef john called himself a “meatloaf fiend”, he knows cool kid lingo
I found myself thinking about and craving a salisbury steak dinner and found myself here, for how to do it. As I do all the cooking in the house, I asked my wife if she would like to have it for dinner and she flipped out, with a massive "yes". I had no idea that she loved it so much, so I will be making it today. Can't wait to try Chef John's recipe. Looks delicious.
Just made this and my mother and law loved it! So, I thank u Chef John!
"It doesn't really matter, he's dead." CRACKED ME UP!!!!!!!!
Made this last night and doubled the recipe so me and my wife had meals for work too. Glad we did. Delicious!!
Bless you Chef Jon! You have not only changed my cooking game you have now, with this recipe, changed my life.
I made this a while back and my family loved it. I have learned so much about cooking from you, Chef John. I am very grateful. Thank you for your videos!
I made this yesterday and was thoroughly impressed with this recipe. In order to make it a little more authentic of a TV dinner I did make instant mashed potatoes. 😊 Plus I use canned salt free cut green beans. Wonderful comfort food and some fun memories. Thanks for the recipe and yes we did 🎼enjoy 🎼 !! 😄
The best part of Chef John is when he is tasting it after he's done. You can just imagine...
Out of this world delicious. I made this for lunch again today and the steaks were so flavorful and tender, we didn't even have to chew! I served with mashed potatoes , which is, of course the perfect side dish.
People, follow this to the T and your whole family will be begging for you to make it again and again.
Best Salisbury steak recipe ever!
This is the quickest I've ever come to a video
I hope you cleaned up before posting.
Thought this was a family friendly comment section I guess not xD
Maybe he was already nearly there.
Phrasing
Blast from the past. This was one of the first things I learn to cook. So proud. I was 12. But Chef, they never looked as good as the ones in this video.
My favorite quote, "It doesn't matter, cause he's dead."
Love this channel
Just made these and they were fantastic. They came out perfect with no need for extra salt or pepper. Very happy with this recipe!
"It doesn't matter, he's dead"
No John, I'M DEAD! lol
Brings back memories. I remember all of us with our own little tv tables sitting in front of the tv watching Archie Bunker eating Salisbury Steak TV dinners lol. I’m getting old 😆
So eating steak will make you a Meathead hahaha
@@Haroldm814 nice!! I walked right into that one Archie lol.
@@chrisdooley6468 lol thank you! I'm turning 30 in August actually but I grew up watching TV land. My parents are both in their late 60s and I got my love of puns and humor from my dad! That show was one of my favorites despite the fact some of the jokes flew over my head as a child lol.
@@Haroldm814 my head too. They were quite racy fir the time period but as I got older they became funnier lol. Classic show

@@osakarose5612 Their trunks broke off during cooking so they came out as triangles 🤣
Added a tsp Garlic Powder to meat mixture and 2 cloves of Garlic to the frying onions pan sauce. Did add some MSG to meat & gravy mixture. Also added a heaping tsp Better Than Bouillon Beef Stock to the meat mixture.
Wife said "It tastes so beefy and delicious. Meat paddies are moist and juicy with a great flavor. You can make this for us anytime". I guess that says it all. Served with/over Mashed Potatoes.
Thank you again Chef John for another wonderful recipe and meal.
This is my one of my kids favorite dinners that my mother taught me to make. I'm so glad they now know how to make it as well.
“I’m a meatloaf fiend.” ~Chef John 😘 #ditto
I’m on my way to the grocery store for the ingredients I need. I want to make this for my fiancé for dinner. He really deserves a good, home cooked meal. Thank you for this. New subbie here♥️
That's sweet
You are a fine person to your mate !
Humor & cooking skill...U r the Perfect man!!
This really is great, memorable comfort food, elevated just enough.
I made this last night and it was AMAZING! The texture of the meat was insanely tender and that gravy - . Thanks, Chef John!!
I made this exactly as presented with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.. OMG so good!
The recommendation to not overwork the beef is key. The texture was much more pleasing and moist.
Made this for my wife today and she absolutely loved it. The sauce was so much better than expected! Thanks Chef.
Made this recipe for dinner today. My family LOVED it! No leftovers. This is now a family favorite. The gravy took a little longer to make than the instructions indicated, but it was well worth it. The gravy was amazing. I used grass fed beef, and what a difference it made for the steaks. Happy camper here.
Bone broth is the best, and it is so cheap to make, butchers give the bones away for free here
I wish I could get bones free.
Please introduce me to your butcher
Cost a lot here !
Where is here?
Where's that?
Cooking Mama is shaking in her boots rn at how good this looks 😩
Thank you Chef John,been craving these sooooo much lately.
We don't have foil tray-packed TV dinners anymore (remember the peach cobbler?! ) They took maybe 45 min in the oven and we had 7 TV channels in Detroit (UHF and VHF and CBC from Canada.) Those days are long gone. But we do have Chef John right now. Very Grateful.
I’m Haitian and have been watching you for years. Would love for you to attempt a Haitian dish!!
I’ve learned this gravy from you back when you only had foodwishes.com and it is amazing. Never made it any other way. DELICIOUS 😋!
Whenever I need some comforting or to relax my brain, I come back here and watch this video.
This brings back good memories of my dad and me at home while Mom was at work....we would have TV dinners and canned biscuits. No microwaves then...everything in the oven. He always doctored up the dinners with a little Worcestershire sauce, butter, onion Etc
This came out great! I still soaked the breadcrumbs in milk out of habit but followed the recipe in every other way. Definitely homemade or high quality stock is essential. I portioned out the remaining patties, mashed potatoes and carrots in 3 compartment Tupperware, which looks a little like a TV dinner tray lol. Reheats nicely, I like this recipe.
“Hold on my melted butter dam broke”
I didn't even flinch. There are only 3 serving styles: 1) lake of butter or gravy 2) dam breaks and goes all over your other food 3) cover the melting butter with potatoes and see who gets to their butter first! Not unlike a Kinder Egg.
That is so me too. Repair, repair.
John, Thankyou for helping me learn to cook and feed my family! Merry Christmas! Hugs!,
I remember binge watching these videos while high. The inflection and tempo of his voice hit even harder. I fantasized about hiring him as a chef for a week.
This is so simple, but I never would have come up with it myself. How does the gravy get so dark and rich? Honestly, it's the best thing I've eaten all lockdown. Thanks John.
No one's gonna want to go out to eat after all this C-19 bc were all chefs now. I try making some of his stuff from time to time. But it never looks like his. Still delicious mush tho.
The Worcestershire sauce in butter alone can do it.
@@meeeka Yes, that must be what does it, I forgot that was in there. Thanks
The 'It doesn't matter, he's dead' line killed me! 👏🏼😂
I ate that in middle school. It was great, even though this is probably much better. I was thankful. Bring this dish back .
My brother showed me this channel. Forever thankful for that.
