Diner Salisbury Steak

Diner Salisbury Steak
makes 4 servings
(America)
As a transplanted "east-coaster" diners and their food hold a special place in my heart . . . the diner was one of the places where I could taste "American" food and, to an Italian American boy, Salisbury Steak was an exotic meal.  This is my homage to this diner specialty.
