Preheat large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and the meat patties to a hot pan. Cook meat 6 minutes on each side until meat is evenly caramelized on the outside and juices run clear. Remove meat and cover with loose tin foil to keep warm. Add 1 more turn of the pan extra-virgin olive oil and butter to the pan, then the mushrooms. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and saute mushrooms until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

While mushrooms cook, squeeze defrosted spinach dry by wringing it out in a kitchen towel. To a small skillet, add butter and cream and heat to a bubble over moderate heat. add spinach and salt and pepper. Cook until spinach thickens with cream, 3 to 5 minutes.

To mushrooms, add a sprinkle of flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes more. Whisk in stock and thicken 1 minute.

While sauce thickens, drain potatoes and return to hot pot. Smash potatoes with a little half-and- half or cream and garlic and herb cheese. Smash and incorporate chives. Add salt and pepper, to your taste.

To serve, pour gravy over Salisbury steak. Serve potatoes and creamed spinach alongside the steaks. Now that's a TV dinner, DELUXE!

    WOW! This one is a winner in taste and ease of preparation. My husband loved it so much he requested it to be repeated the next week. We love to cook and like to elevate our meals but this recipe is perfect just like it is!

    I love Rachael Ray but this recipe was not up to par... The steak was my problem. When I was making it I knew I needed to at least add an egg or something to the mix but I didnt because I wanted to see how her recipe went and as I knew the patties just completely fell apart - they are way too big to be able to flip in the pan and not have them break apart. There was WAY too much onion and that was really the only flavor they then ended up having... very disappointed.
