Ingredients

For the Salisbury Steaks

  • 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

For the 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 meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, Montreal steak seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Form patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
  3. Brown the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, just enough to develop a crust and lock in flavor.
  4. Place in slow cooker: Transfer the browned beef patties to the bottom of your slow cooker, arranging them 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.
  6. Pour gravy over patties: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the beef patties in the slow cooker.
  7. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the patties are cooked through and tender.
  8. Serve: Spoon the Salisbury steaks and gravy onto plates and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs and verify the gravy mix is gluten-free.
  • To enhance flavor, consider adding sliced mushrooms to the gravy before slow cooking.
  • Brown the patties carefully to avoid overcooking; just a light crust is sufficient.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for meal prep and leftovers.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
