Beef Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet onion soup mix (1 ounce)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup bread crumbs
Gravy
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces)
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet brown gravy mix (0.87 ounces)
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the beef mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, Montreal steak seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form patties: Divide the beef mixture evenly and shape it into 4 round patties.
- Brown the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust. This step adds flavor and texture.
- Place patties in slow cooker: Transfer the browned beef patties to the bottom of your slow cooker, arranging them evenly.
- Make the gravy: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, water, and brown gravy mix until smooth. Pour this gravy mixture evenly over the beef patties in the slow cooker.
- Slow cook the steaks: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, allowing the patties to become tender and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the Salisbury steaks warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
