For the Salisbury Steak Patties:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
For the Gravy:
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For Garnish (optional):

Instructions:
- Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, diced onions, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Shape the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your patties.
- Shape each portion into an oval or round patty.
- Brown the Patties:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re browned.
- Transfer the browned patties to your slow cooker.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- In the same skillet you used for browning the patties, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add Flour and Deglaze:
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour Gravy Over the Patties:
- Pour the prepared gravy over the patties in the slow cooker.
- Slow Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or until the Salisbury steak patties are tender and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Once the Salisbury steak is done, you can serve it hot.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve your Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles, along with some steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
