Salisbury Steaks with Gravy

Salisbury Steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side of peas and carrots.  Comfort food?   I have made Salisbury steaks my whole married life, but recently I've been making this version that finishes cooking the steaks right in the gravy. Man, it's good!   My meat and potatoes husband loves this dish!

Salisbury Steaks with Gravy
2 lbs. ground beef
1 pkg. dry French Onion Soup mix
1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
1 egg
3 packets brown gravy mix (or if you have a large "Costco" container of this, it's a heaping 1/2 cup)
1 cup sour cream

Preheat the oven to 350.  Spray a 13 x9 pan.  In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soup mix, crumbs, and egg.  Use your hands.  Form into 6 -8 patties.  In a large skillet, brown both sides of the patties.  Put the browned patties into the prepared 13x 9 pan.  Combine the gravy mix with 2 1/2 cups water  and the sour cream. It helps to heat the water in the microwave so the sour cream mixes in better.  Pour the gravy over the patties.  Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.  Serve with mashed potatoes.
