Crockpot Salisbury Steak

Craving a warm slow cooked dinner? Then try our crockpot Salisbury steak. Slow simmered beef patties with a savory mushroom gravy!

Sometimes you just crave a slow cooked meal. However, not everyone wants to spend all day standing over a hot stove.

On days like that, it’s great to have a slow cooker. Today’s crockpot Salisbury steak is the perfect recipe for a lazy day.

It features tender beef simmered in a yummy mushroom and onion gravy. Sounds good right? Well, let’s get started then!

How to make crockpot Salisbury steak?

First, start prepping the ingredients. Dice the veggies, open the soup, you get the idea.

After that, grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the ground beef, cracked egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper.

Next, use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together. Form the mixture into four (4) equal sized patties. Place them on a plate.

If you look at the photo, each patty kind of looks like a mini meatloaf.

Afterward, place your skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once it’s warm, cook the Salisbury steaks for about five (5) minutes on each side.

This will help them stay together as they cook in your crockpot.

Meanwhile, in a another large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, packets of au jus and brown gravy, dried thyme, and beef broth.

I recommend using a whisk to blend everything together.

Then, grab your crockpot and layer in the following ingredients in this order: half the mushrooms and onions, the Salisbury steaks, the remaining mushrooms and onions, and finally pour the broth mixture over everything.

Last, place the lid on the crockpot and let the Salisbury steaks cook on high for two and half (2.5) to three (3) hours.

Once done, serve them with sides of your choice. That’s it, your crockpot Salisbury steaks are done!

Kim and I hope you enjoy this recipe and wish you all the best 🙂

Recipe Tips:

• You can use the low heat setting on your slow cooker. With that being said, it will take four (4) to five (5) hours to fully cook.
• I do not recommend skipping the skillet step; because, the crockpot Salisbury steaks might fall apart in the slow cooker.
