Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak With Garlic Herb Gravy

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I Enjoy This Recipe Because It Combines The Nostalgic Taste Of Classic Salisbury Steak With The Convenience Of Slow Cooking. The Garlic And Herbs Add A Delicious Twist That Makes The Gravy Extra Special. I Like Serving It Over Mashed Potatoes With A Side Of Steamed Vegetables, And There’s Always Plenty Of Gravy To Spoon Over Everything.

Ingredients

(Here’s A Tip: Check Out The Full List Of Ingredients And Measurements In The Recipe Card Below.)

• 1 ½ Pounds Lean Ground Beef

• ½ Cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs

• ¼ Cup Milk

• 1 Packet Dry Onion Soup Mix

• 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced

• ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour

• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

• 1 Can (10.5 Ounces) Cream Of Chicken Soup

• 1 Packet Dry Au Jus Mix

• 1 Cup Water

• 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme

• 1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary

Directions

1. I Combine The Ground Beef, Bread Crumbs, Milk, Onion Soup Mix, And Garlic In A Large Bowl. I Mix Until Everything Is Evenly Combined, Then Shape The Mixture Into 6 Patties.

2. I Dredge Each Patty In Flour And Shake Off The Excess.

3. In A Skillet, I Heat Vegetable Oil Over Medium Heat And Brown The Patties For 3–4 Minutes Per Side.

4. I Place The Browned Patties In The Bottom Of My Slow Cooker.

5. In A Separate Bowl, I Stir Together The Cream Of Chicken Soup, Au Jus Mix, Water, Thyme, And Rosemary.

6. I Pour The Mixture Over The Patties In The Slow Cooker.

7. I Cover And Cook On Low For 4–5 Hours Until The Patties Are Tender And Fully Cooked.

8. I Serve The Steaks Hot, Spooned With Plenty Of Garlic Herb Gravy.

Servings And Timing

This Recipe Makes About 6 Servings. It Takes Around 15 Minutes To Prep, Plus 4–5 Hours Of Slow Cooking Time.

Variations

I Sometimes Use Ground Turkey Instead Of Beef For A Lighter Version. If I Want More Flavor, I Add Sliced Mushrooms To The Slow Cooker Along With The Patties. A Pinch Of Red Pepper Flakes Gives The Gravy A Gentle Kick. For A Gluten-Free Version, I Swap In Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs And Flour.

Storage/Reheating

If I Have Leftovers, I Store Them In An Airtight Container In The Refrigerator For Up To 3 Days. To Reheat, I Warm Them Gently In A Skillet With A Splash Of Water Or In The Microwave. This Recipe Also Freezes Well For Up To 2 Months—I Just Thaw Overnight In The Fridge Before Reheating.

FAQs

Can I Skip Browning The Patties First?

I Prefer To Brown Them Because It Adds Flavor And Helps The Patties Hold Together, But It’s Optional If I’m Short On Time.

Can I Use Fresh Herbs Instead Of Dried?

Yes, I Sometimes Use Fresh Thyme And Rosemary, Doubling The Amount For A Brighter Flavor.

What’s The Best Side Dish For This Recipe?

I Usually Serve It With Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Green Beans, Or Buttered Noodles.

Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?

Yes, I Use Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs And Flour Without Any Trouble.

How Do I Thicken The Gravy If It’s Too Thin?

I Mix A Little Cornstarch With Water And Stir It Into The Gravy Toward The End Of Cooking.

Conclusion

I Love Making Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak With Garlic Herb Gravy Because It’s Warm, Comforting, And So Simple To Prepare. The Tender Beef Patties And Rich Gravy Always Feel Like A Special Meal, Even Though The Slow Cooker Makes It Practically Effortless. It’s A True Family Favorite That Always Disappears Fast.
