Ingredients
Scale
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)
Garnish
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 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 well until all ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Form patties: Divide the meat mixture evenly and shape into 4 patties, ensuring they hold together well for cooking.
- Brown the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side. This step seals in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the steaks.
- Arrange in slow cooker: Place the browned patties in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer for even cooking.
- Prepare 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 patties in the slow cooker.
- Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, until the patties are fully cooked and tender.
- Serve: Carefully remove the Salisbury steaks using a spatula, serve warm, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired for added color and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve Salisbury steaks with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Ensure patties are browned well to improve flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
