Skinny Salisbury Steak

Skinnytaste.com is one of my FAVORITE sites!!  Basically, Gina takes popular recipes and recreates them so they are HEALTHY!  She does her best to remove as many calories as possible, but stay true to the wonderful tastes!!!  Seriously, she's amazing!  And, she just announced today that she's coming out with a new COOKBOOK!!!!  How awesome is that?! 

So one of our favorites from her site (there are many!) is Skinny Salisbury Steak.  The original recipe called for mushrooms, but Nathan despises the things, so I just ignore that part!  Also, we like our sauce, so I usually double it.
