The Ultimate Comfort Food: Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak
Ingredients
Patty Components:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Gravy Ingredients:
1 small onion, sliced
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 package brown gravy mix
1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Steps
Combine all the patty ingredients, shape them into small patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Lay down a bed of onions and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
In a skillet, brown the steak patties on both sides before placing them in the slow cooker atop the onions and mushrooms. (Though you can place raw patties directly in the slow cooker, we suggest browning them first to enhance the flavor.)
Blend all the remaining ingredients (except for the cornstarch), pour the mixture over the meat and vegetables, cover, and cook on low for 5 hours.
Once done, take out the patties, switch the slow cooker to high, stir in the cornstarch, and let it cook until it thickens.
Immerse the patties back into the slow cooker, ensuring they’re covered with the sauce before serving.
Enjoy!
