It is my new favorite gravy! I use it for a lot of things and I have also added mushrooms to it. I made dressing for a after Thanksgiving dinner and made the gravy with mushrooms and it was really good. I will have to try it over polenta. We love polenta too!

I just made it and actually added 2 chopped mushrooms right to the onions after they were a little cooked thru. I also used butter cause I didn't have margarine (it is hard to get the good stuff here at the commissary anyway) but that was the only changes. I also must not have had my temp right or maybe cause of the butter but mine never got that thick. I did let it cook for a while on a higher heat but never enough that I had to add the extra broth. I put it over sliced cooked polenta. My hubby, whos is very recently trying the vegetarian lifestyle, loved it!!! Thanks so much and I am so glad I found your blog. I will be try the Salisbury steak soon!!!! That Gravy is amazing. I just made it and actually added 2 chopped mushrooms right to the onions after they were a little cooked thru.

If I am trying to replace “Mashed Potatoes” with “Mashed Cauliflower”, it just is not going to work for me. However, if I simply work with Mashed Cauliflower until we have the texture and seasonings right, I find I am looking forward to Mashed Cauliflower and not being disappointed because Mashed Cauliflower is not and never will be Mashed Potatoes.</p> <p>Having said all that, if you miss mashed potatoes and Salisbury Steak because perhaps you no longer eat steak, this dish may be one to make you happy. The seasonings and textures were so close to what I remember except for me it was better, I thought it tasted good. You see, I cannot honestly remember actually having the thought pass through my head that “Gee, I would really like to have Salisbury Steak today”. Any time I had Salisbury Steak it was because that was what was placed on the dinner table.</p> I am not one to look for a vegan or vegetarian dish to take the place of a specific dish.
