Ingredients
For the Patties:
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup minced onion
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Gravy:
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 package brown gravy mix
- 1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced onion, breadcrumbs, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Sear the Patties (optional): For extra flavor, sear the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but adds a deeper flavor to the dish.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onion and mushrooms at the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the beef patties on top of the vegetables.
- Make the Gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, ketchup, and Dijon mustard (if using). Pour the gravy mixture over the patties in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the patties are cooked through and tender.
- Thicken the Gravy: Thirty minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the slow cooker and stir gently. Cover and let the gravy thicken as it finishes cooking.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks with a generous spoonful of mushroom gravy on top. This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
