One of my favorites

Salisbury Steak

1 3/4 lbs Ground Beef (the leaner the better)
2 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Large Whole Egg (or 2 eggs using only egg whites)
1/2 cup Ritz Crackers (finely crushed)
3 1/2 Tbsp of finely chopped onion
Salt and Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir around until they are all incorporated into the meat. Shape into 4 ovals and place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. The parchment paper is fairly important, if you don't use it you'll basically end up with hamburgers)Drizzle with oil (I prefer olive oil, but use what you have in the cabinet) and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

You can make your own gravy with the following recipe

2 cups of beef stock (kitchen basics is really good)
3 Tbsp of butter
1/2 cup of chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 Tbsp flour

Add butter to a skillet, over medium heat add onions util they're translucent, add garlic and cook for a few minutes (don't let the garlic burn, it gets a bitter taste) Add flour and stir until it thickens. Add the beef stock. Salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to add any herbs and spices that your family likes to add pizzaz.
