Salisbury Steak

My version of Salisbury Steak.  

Salisbury Steak in the Air Fryer
1 lb ground beef
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 c. diced onion 
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 t. dried oregano
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. mustard
1 T. ketchup
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (1T. per pattie)  or to taste
Preheat air fryer to 325 for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, salt, granulated garlic, oregano, ketchup,  mustard, Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
Form the ground beef mixture into 4 large oval shaped patties.
Place patties inside of the air fryer and cook at 325  for 8 minutes.
Open the air fryer and brush the steaks with barbecue sauce on all sides. Cook for an additional  5-7 minutes or until fully cooked to 160 degrees.
Serve over mashed potatoes or with some veggies on the side.

Notes:
Can serve with brown gravy if you don’t like it with bbq sauce.
There is no need to flip the steak patties during air fryer cooking.

Peach Hot Pepper Jelly

This recipe came from the Sure Jell Pectin website.  

 Peach Hot Pepper Jelly
2 c. finely chopped peeled peaches (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1 c. finely chopped red pepper (about 1 large red pepper)
1 c. finely chopped jalapeno peppers (about 10 peppers)
1 c. apple cider vinegar
1 pkg. Sure Jell Fruit Pectin
1/2 t. butter or margarine
5 c. sugar, measured into a separate bowl and set aside.  

Place peaches and peppers in 8 qt. saucepan.  Add vinegar.  Stir in pectin.  Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly.  
Stir in sugar.  Return mixture to a full boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Skim off any foam with a spoon.  
Immediately ladle into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Wipe jar rims and cover with 2 piece lids.  Place filled jars in a water bath canner on a rack.  Cover with water 1 to 2 inches above the tops of the jars.  Cover canner and bring to a gentle boil.  Process for 10 minutes.  (Check to see if you need more time for your altitude.) 
Remove jars and place on a towel to cool.  Check seals and label jars for storage.
