Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
Form the meat mixture into oval-shaped patties, ensuring they’re of uniform thickness so they cook evenly.
Step 3: Brown the Patties
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a small amount of oil and brown the patties on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds flavor and helps the patties hold their shape in the Crock Pot.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and ketchup until smooth.
Step 5: Layer in the Crock Pot
Place the browned patties in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Pour the mushroom gravy mixture over the top, ensuring the patties are well-covered.
Step 6: Cook in the Crock Pot
Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the patties are fully cooked and tender.
Step 7: Serve
Gently stir the sauce, then serve the Salisbury steak over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, spooning extra gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
