Ultimate Comfort Food Plate – This plate is a feast for the senses—a hearty and comforting meal that brings together classic flavors in a perfect harmony. Start with juicy, homemade Salisbury steak smothered in rich, savory gravy, complemented by sautéed onions and bell peppers for a burst of flavor. The creamy mashed potatoes, draped in that same indulgent gravy, provide a perfect counterpoint with their buttery softness. Fresh green beans, sautéed with crispy bacon, add a crisp and smoky touch, while the golden garlic butter crescent rolls offer a warm, flaky bite of goodness. To round it all off, sweet corn on the cob, brushed with melted butter, adds a delightful touch of freshness to this soul-satisfying plate. Every bite is a celebration of comfort food at its finest.
