Homemade Salisbury Steak in Crock Pot

As fall has begun and cooler weather starts to slowly set in, many of us long for comfort food.  Although, here in Florida and it still isn’t cool by many standards, the breeze has kicked up a bit and I can just feel fall just longing to burst on in!

My taste buds also start longing for a bit of comfort too. I start craving thinkgs like mashed potatoes, creamy mac n cheese or maybe a nice slice of chicken pot pie. But this Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is a family favorite that always gets whipped up in our kitchen just as soon as I pull out the fall decor!

This meal is as satisfying to the belly as it is the soul. Fall is a time of reflecting on gratitude and thankfulness, and during this time I think our tummies long for comfort as much as our hearts do.

How To Make Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak With Gravy

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef mixture and form 6 patties. Brown in a skillet or slow cooker, if it has a sauté feature. Remove beef patties and set aside.

Author: Nikki Lee
Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is comfort food at its best…scrumptious beef patty smothered in a deliciously rich mushroom and onion gravy. All cooked to perfection in the slow cooker!

Ingredients 

  • 8 ounces slices mushrooms, (or to taste)
  • 1 small sweet onion, sliced (or to taste)

Broth / Gravy Mixture

  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 package brown gravy mix
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)

Salisbury Steak Patty Mixture

  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • ½ cup panko crumbs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt, (I use Lawry's)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Slurry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Optional

  • 1 teaspoon gravy master, (or kitchen bouquet) to deepen the color, optional

Instructions

  • Prep Ground Beef Patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef mixture: lean ground beef, panko crumbs, egg, yolk, milk, onion powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Then, form 6 round patties.
  • In a skillet, over medium-high heat (or in the slow cooker if it has a sauté function), brown the patties. You are not cooking them; you are just getting a nice sear on the outside. Remove beef patties and set aside.
  • Make Gravy: In a bowl, combine the gravy mixture ingredients: beef broth,  brown gravy mix, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Set aside.
  • Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Layer mushrooms and onion slices on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Then add patties to the top. 
  • Pour the gravy mixture over the mushrooms, onions, and ground beef patties. Move around until coated in gravy.
  • Slow Cook: Place on lid and cook for 5-6 hours on low. 
  • Thicken with Cornstarch Slurry: After cooking is complete. Mix the cornstarch and water to make the slurry mixture. Move patties to one side of the slow cooker. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir around to thicken.
  • If you would like to deepen the color of the gravy, add in a teaspoon (or desired amount) of gravy master or kitchen bouquet (this is optional).
  • Move patties back into the gravy and stir to coat with gravy. Replace the lid and let the gravy thicken for 10-15 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • Serve: Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley and cracked black pepper and enjoy.

Notes

If the ground beef doesn’t produce enough juices or you want more gravy, add additional beef broth, ½ cup at a time.

  1. Hi! Do I cook the meat in the skillet until it’s done all the way through? Or do I just brown it and it will cook the rest of the way in the crock pot? Thank you!

  2. You know I’m not sure I’ve had Salisbury steak (not a British thing) but this looks great so might have to finally get round to it!

  3. I adore Salisbury Steak! I love that you made it in the slow cooker and that gravy looks to die for!

  4. I can’t wait to make this for my father in law. Believe it or not I have never had salisbury steak but it looks so good!
