Here’s a delicious and easy Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak recipe:
🥩 Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the patties:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the gravy:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
- Optional: sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Make the patties:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until combined and shape into 4–6 oval patties.
- Prepare the slow cooker:
- Place sliced onions (and mushrooms if using) at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Pour half over the onions.
- Add patties:
- Place the patties on top of the onions. Pour the remaining broth mixture over the patties.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until patties are cooked through and tender.
- Make gravy (optional extra thick):
- About 30 minutes before serving, whisk cornstarch and water together to make a slurry.
- Pour into the slow cooker and stir gently to thicken the gravy. Cook until desired thickness.
- Serve:
- Serve the Salisbury steaks with gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, brown the patties quickly in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker (optional).
- Add herbs like thyme or parsley for a fragrant touch.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for 2–3 days.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut version using a packaged onion soup mix that makes it even faster and still very flavorful. Do you want me to share that?
