Ingredients

Beef Patties

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (1 ounce)
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Gravy

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix (0.87 ounces)

Optional Garnish

  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef mixture: In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, Montreal steak seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Form patties: Divide the mixture evenly into 4 patties to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Brown the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side to create a flavorful crust and lock in juices.
  4. Place in slow cooker: Transfer the browned beef patties to the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
  5. Mix the gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, water, and brown gravy mix until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef patties in the slow cooker.
  6. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, allowing the patties to become tender and the gravy to thicken.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, serve the Salisbury steaks warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired for a touch of color and flavor.
