Mom's Salisbury Steak Marsala

This is one of my favorite recipes as a child called Mom's Salisbury Steak she would make in a pattie style or meatball in a skillet.

The recipe is quick, easy, and economical as it can be all made from scratch or you can adapt it by using store-bought ingredients just check out my tips and suggestions.

We love the homemade version, the meat mixture is basic pantry ingredients and the vintage easiest beef gravy recipe is super easy to make using beef broth and not complicated at all.

Of course for those who prefer not to use a wine, you can just omit that and add a little more beef broth to thin the gravy no worries.

As a child, I thought the meatballs were a fun way to serve these and they were super delicious over roasted garlic mashed potatoes but Salisbury steak is usually in pattie form so you can choose what shape you like.

If you love ground beef recipes you can also try Mom's Goulash Recipe and Italian Meatball Stew, they are both delicious recipes and vintage from the 1940s like this recipe below.

Flounder Francese (Egg Coated Recipe)

Seafood was always a favorite in our home prepared like this Flounder Francese.


My mom's all-time favorite was anything Francese with fish or chicken and this was her easy recipe that I hold near and dear to my heart.


When she was still alive, she made this sauce and it was great on all kinds of white fish.


Usually, this was prepared and poured over cod or haddock.


Being, on a tight budget, those two fish were an inexpensive substitute for Flounder back in the 1960s.


We never had the money for a fancy fish like flounder in those days, she would surely have loved this delicate fish.


It was always cod or haddock and fabulous.


Cod baked or haddock fried was a staple back then every Friday, this style Francese was done on special occasions.


Sometimes mom would filet a chicken breast and use boneless chicken as well.


I make this recipe often in mom's memory and it never fails me, hopefully, if you are a seafood or chicken lover you will really enjoy this recipe as much as we do and keep her memory alive.
