Salisbury Steak

Tasty, classic Salisbury recipe with the added ingredient of rice (makes the patty more tenderer). Side note I did not notice until I was half way in the recipe that I needed "cooked" rice. I accidently made 1/2 raw rice which expanded to about 1 c. Make sure to only add 1/2 c. "cooked" rice. I will definitely make this recipe again.!
