Crockpot Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms

Ingredients

Patties

• 1½ lbs ground beef (80/20 is perfect)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
• 1 packet (or 1 Tbsp) onion soup mix
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper

Gravy

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced (optional but great)
• 1 Tbsp ketchup (classic Salisbury flavor)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Make the patties
   Mix all patty ingredients gently (don’t overwork). Form into 6–8 oval patties.
2. Optional but recommended:
   Brown patties in a skillet 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor. (You can skip if rushed.)
3. Layer the crockpot
   • Add mushrooms and onions to the bottom
   • Place patties on top
4. Mix gravy
   Whisk beef broth, gravy mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire. Pour over everything.
5. Cook
   • Low: 6–7 hours
   • High: 3–4 hours
     Patties should be tender and gravy thickened.

To Serve

• 🥔 Mashed potatoes (mandatory IMO)
• 🍚 Rice or egg noodles
• 🥖 Buttered bread to mop up gravy

Easy Upgrades

• 🧈 Stir in 1–2 Tbsp butter or sour cream at the end for ultra-rich gravy
• 🌿 Add thyme or parsley for a diner-style finish
• 🧀 Serve over potatoes with a little shredded Swiss or provolone

If you want, I can make it:

• creamier
• no gravy packet
• frozen-patty friendly
• or a low-carb version

Just tell me the vibe. 😄
