Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak

1. Introduction

Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is a comforting, family-favorite meal that elevates seasoned ground beef into a tender, gourmet-style entree. By using the slow cooker, the hand-formed patties simmer in a rich, mushroom-infused gravy until they are incredibly moist and flavorful. This method allows the beef to absorb the savory aromatics while creating a thick, velvety sauce that is perfect for serving over a bed of mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

2. Ingredients

• The Patties:

  • 1.5–2 lbs ground beef (80/20 or 90/10 blend).

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian seasoned).

  • 1 large egg.

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.

• The Gravy & Toppings:

  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms.

  • 1 packet (approx. 1 oz) brown gravy mix or onion soup mix.

  • 1 cup beef broth.

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced.

• Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
