Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Prepare the Beef Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into oval patties.
Brown the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for 2–3 minutes per side. They do not need to cook through.
Prepare the Gravy: In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme.
Layer in the Slow Cooker: Arrange sliced onions and mushrooms at the bottom of the Crock Pot. Place the browned Salisbury steak patties on top.
Add the Gravy: Pour the mushroom and tomato gravy mixture evenly over the patties, making sure they are well covered.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Thicken the Gravy: Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir into the gravy during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking. Cover and allow the sauce to thicken.
Serve: Carefully remove the Salisbury steaks and spoon the rich mushroom and tomato gravy over the top.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the gravy mixture.
Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious gravy.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
