Special Salisbury Steaks

Nancy Wilson, Youngstown, OH, sent a "hubby favorite" recipe for me to revise. My favorite hubby was especially pleased with the outcome. See if yours is too!

16 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
21 small fat free saltine crackers, made into fine crumbs
1/3 cup Heinz Light Harvest Ketchup or any reduced sodium ketchup
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar Heinz fat free beef gravy
1/4 cup (one 2-ounce jar) chopped pimiento, undrained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 by 12 baking dish with butter flavored cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine meat, onion, cracker crumbs, ketchup, parsley flakes and black pepper. mix well to combine. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup as a guide, form into 6 patties. Place patties in a large skillet sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray and brown for about 3 minutes on each side. Place browned patties in prepared baking dish. In a small bow, combine gravy and undrained pimiento. Evenly spoon gravy mixture over patties. Cover and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. When serving, evenly spoon gravy over patties.

HINT: A self seal sandwich bag works great for crushing cracker crumbs
