Roasted garlic mashed potatoes 

Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food. Theyre perfect for a cold winters day.

And when you mix them with the gravy from the Salisbury steak the yum factor is off the scale!

The secret to making these creamy garlic mashed potatoes is to cook the potatoes with milk and herbs.

This lets the flavors really infuse into the potatoes.

Psst mashed cauliflower is a great low-carb alternative to potatoes.

Brown butter glazed carrots

In a rush?

Take a look at your refrigerator and see if you have carrots.

Glaze them with a butter and maple syrup mix and toss them in the oven. In 20 minutes theyll have turned into the tastiest carrots youve ever tasted.

Trust me, you wont regret trying these brown butter-glazed carrots.

Brown and wild rice medley

Okay, weve all heard about fried rice.

But have you ever tried a brown and wild rice medley?

Wild rice has a deep, nutty flavor that goes well with the hamburger steak. And the brown rice will soak up all the sauce beautifully, so every mouthful will be packed with flavor.

You can even add some pecans or pistachios for more crunch.

Make your plate stand out by serving this unique rice medley. Your family will undoubtedly like it!

Peas and pancetta

Want to make your Salisbury steak feel like a real steak?

Serve with peas and pancetta, a traditional Italian side dish.

Its perfect for when you need something fancy, like for date night or a dinner party.

The vibrant green peas and pink pancetta will look great next to the duller browns of the meat and the sauce.

Add some shaved parmesan and you have the perfect peas and pancetta.

Apple feta spinach salad

This isnt your typical spinach salad.

Its more on the sweet tangy side. And I love the crunch that you get from the nuts the recipe uses pecans but I sometimes use walnuts or almonds instead.

Its the perfect accompaniment when you want something light and fresh with your Salisbury steak.

If you enjoy salads then youre in for a treat with this apple feta spinach salad.

Buttered egg noodles

Buttered egg noodles are great for a quick weeknight meal.

All you need is 20 minutes and a few ingredients.

Picky eaters wont have a problem with this dish either. I mean, who can resist a butter and parmesan combo?

Place your Salisbury steak on a bed on these buttery egg noodles and be prepared for everyone to ask for seconds.

Parmesan herb-roasted acorn squash

Acorn squash is a healthy guilt-free side dish.

Its the epitome of fall, and pairing it with your Salisbury steak will make you feel all warm and cozy inside.

If you cant find any acorn squash, you substitute it for pumpkin or butternut squash instead. Sweet potatoes are another option.

Last ingredient makes the yummiest parmesan herb-roasted acorn squash ever.

Lemon spritz asparagus and broccoli

Most of the time, taking a simple and uncomplicated route is best.

Lemon spritz asparagus and broccoli is a great summer side to brighten your Salisbury steak.

The acidity from the lemon cuts through the richness of the dish and keeps it from becoming too heavy.

Enjoy this 15-minute side dish to the fullest by sprinkling goat cheese on top!

Garlic mushrooms

I know what youre thinking.

Salisbury steak already has mushrooms in the sauce but theres nothing wrong with double mushrooms!

Especially if you douse the mushrooms in a garlic sauce to keep them nice and juicy.

(you can never have too much garlic either.)

Look at these tasty sheet pan garlic mushrooms.

Pickled red cabbage

Whats better than a Salisbury steak?

Salisbury with pickled cabbage on the side, of course!

Pickled red cabbage adds a brilliant pop of color to the dish. And the sour, tart flavor will help cut through a super-rich hamburger steak.

Youll need to plan ahead for this pickled red cabbage, but its well worth it.

Psst braised red cabbage would work well too.

Crusty bread rolls

Who said you have to be a master baker to achieve beautiful, artisan bread?

Its actually really easy to do at home!

These genius no-knead artisan bread rolls involve just five minutes of work. The rest is rising and baking time.

The thick crust and chewy bread are perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce.
