Here’s a comforting and easy Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak recipe—tender beef patties in a rich, savory gravy:
Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak
Ingredients
For the patties:
- 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the gravy:
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Make the patties:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 6–8 oval patties.
- Prepare the gravy:
- In a separate bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and mushrooms (if using).
- Layer in the slow cooker:
- Place patties in the slow cooker.
- Pour the gravy mixture over the patties, covering them evenly.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until patties are cooked through and gravy is thickened.
- Serve:
- Spoon Salisbury steak and gravy onto plates.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Tips
- For a richer gravy, stir in 1/4 cup sour cream just before serving.
- You can brown the patties in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker for extra flavor, but it’s optional.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for 2–3 days and reheat beautifully.
I can also give a quick “dump-and-go” slow cooker version where you skip making the patties and just use seasoned beef chunks—it’s faster and still tastes like Salisbury steak.
Do you want me to give that version?
