I've never had salisbury steak before but I can see how it is labeled a "comfort food". This was very yummy! Don't let the picture deceive you---the dish was actually very delicious. As my husband said, it's like a mix between meatloaf and a hamburger. With the milk mixture, I can tell you that the patties turn out VERY moist---not dry one bit. My kids didn't want to eat it at first because of the gravy, but when we told them it tastes like meatloaf (it's all the same to a kid, right?), they ate it right up. :)
