Ooo yes—crockpot comfort food unlocked 😌
This one’s rich, cozy, and basically cooks itself.

Crockpot Salisbury Steak 🍖🥔

Ingredients (4 servings)

Steaks

• 1½ lbs ground beef (80/20 is ideal)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs (or panko)
• 1 egg
• 1 packet onion soup mix (or see DIY below)
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp black pepper

Gravy

• 1½ cups beef broth
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Mix & shape
   In a bowl, combine all steak ingredients. Gently mix (don’t overwork) and form into oval patties.
2. Optional but clutch: sear
   Brown patties in a skillet with a little oil—about 1–2 min per side.
   This adds flavor but you can skip if you’re short on time.
3. Layer the crockpot
   Add onions and mushrooms to the bottom. Place patties on top.
4. Gravy time
   Whisk beef broth + gravy mix + garlic. Pour over everything.
5. Cook
   • LOW: 6–7 hours
   • HIGH: 3–4 hours
     Until patties are tender and cooked through.
6. Serve
   Spoon that gravy generously over:
   • Mashed potatoes (classic)
   • Egg noodles
   • Rice
   • Or even thick toast

Easy DIY Onion Soup Mix (if needed)

• 2 tbsp dried onion flakes
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp sugar
• ¼ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Extra upgrades

• Stir in 2–3 tbsp sour cream at the end for creamy gravy
• Add frozen pearl onions for extra cozy vibes
• Swap beef for ground turkey (add a little oil to keep it juicy)

If you want a no-gravy-mix version, keto, or freezer-friendly twist, I’ve got you 👌
