It was in a celebrity magazine a few years ago. Maybe you can help me find it. It called for ground meat, grated onion, eggs, bread crumbs, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and herbs of some kind.
Hi Judy,
I'm finding your request to be problematic.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a celebrity magazine". What comes to mind is "People" or "Us" or "Entertainment". I don't read magazines like those, so that's not much help to me without knowing exactly which magazine it was and which, if any, celebrity the recipe was connected with.
Salisbury steak is a very common recipe. I saw lots of recipes with the ingredients you list, but they all have additional ingredients, such as garlic, dry mustard, etc. I can't find one with only the ingredients you list and "herbs of some kind" could be anything. I need some way to identify the particular recipe that you lost, with little room for doubt. Without that, you can do as well as I by just typing "Salisbury steak recipe" into Google and checking every recipe for which it provides a link.
I'll post this for reader input. Perhaps someone will recognize it.

Thank you for your efforts. I don't remember which magazine. I got it from a friend that subscribes to a lot of them.
Hi Judy,
Below is a recipe that you might want to try. It has catsup and tomato soup instead of tomato paste, but other than that it seems similar.
