Commonly Asked Questions
What type of ground meat should I use?
You can use beef, turkey, or a mixture. Beef is traditional for Salisbury steak, but turkey works well for a lighter option.
Can I add other vegetables to this casserole?
Absolutely! Carrots, green beans, or mushrooms would be delicious additions. Just cut them into small pieces so they cook evenly.
Do I need to cover the dish while baking?
Covering isn’t necessary, but you can use foil if you want to prevent any over-browning. Uncovered baking will give a slightly crispier texture on top.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or use a microwave for a quicker option.
Can I make this dish in advance?
Yes! You can assemble everything and store it in the fridge overnight. Bake it the next day for a convenient meal.
