Kingdom Women COOK!

My friend, Chrystal Hurst , Author of Kingdom Woman is having a Recipe Blog Hop and I decided to join in with a family favorite ... This is a hearty meal that fill the big bellies in my house.

 
My mom used to make Smothered Steak Patties for us when I was growing up and it was SO comforting .. just like a warm blanket .... especially when she served it with Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Peas. :)

Salisbury Steak
1 lb ground chuck
1 packet onion soup mix
1/4 cup of water
1 can beef broth
1 package brown gravy mix
Red and/or green bell peppers

Mix ground chuck, onion soup mix and water together. Form into patties. Brown patties on medium to low heat, cooking each side for 10 minutes. Add broth and gravy mix, and simmer w/ lid for 20 minutes, until gravy thickens. Add sliced bell pepper just before serving.

I started some of my own traditions and now serve the patties with these twice baked potatoes .....

Twice sweet baked potatoes

6 sweet potatoes, cleaned
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons softened butter
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1/2 cup pecans
marshmallows (small)


Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place sweet potatoes on cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour or until soft.
Split potatoes down the middle and remove the inside to a medium sized bowl. (use a melon baller if you have it)
In another bowl, add brown sugar, butter, cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and mash and pecans and mash with a fork. Dash of salt to taste.
Add this to the sweet potato pulp, meat, you know, the inside of the potato and put the mixture in the potato skins.

Bake for 15 minutes, add marshmallows on top for 1 min or until golden brown.
