Author: Nikki Lee
Servings: 6 servings
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes

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
  • ⅓ 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.
