4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Patties

recip



1. Form the Patties

  • In a bowl, gently mix ground beef and onion (if using fresh).
  • Divide into 4–6 equal portions; shape into ¾-inch thick patties.
  • Place in the bottom of the slow cooker (they’ll firm up as they cook).

2. Make the Gravy

  • In the same bowl, whisk cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth.
  • Pour evenly over the patties—do not stir.

3. Cook Low & Slow

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours (or HIGH for 3.5–4 hours), until patties are cooked through and gravy is hot and bubbly.

4. Optional Finishing Touch

  • For richer flavor: Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or ½ tsp garlic powder at the end.
  • For thicker gravy: Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water; stir in during last 30 minutes on HIGH.

Serving Suggestions

  • 🥔 Classic pairing: Creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles
  • 🍚 With rice: Fluffy white or brown rice
  • 🥦 With sides: Steamed green beans, peas, or roasted carrots
  • 🥖 For soaking up gravy: Crusty bread or buttermilk biscuits

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Keeps up to 3 days—flavor deepens overnight!
  • Reheat: Gently in slow cooker or microwave with a splash of broth.
  • Freeze: Freeze in portions up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat covered.
