Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Large skillet
• Slow cooker
• Spatula
• Whisk

Ingredients:

For the Steaks:

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Gravy:

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
   • Shape the mixture into 6 oval patties.
2. Brown the Steaks:
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. You don’t need to cook them through, just brown the outside. Transfer the browned patties to the slow cooker.
3. Prepare the Gravy:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
4. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:
   • Place the sliced onion and mushrooms on top of the patties in the slow cooker. Pour the gravy mixture over the top.
5. Cook:
   • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the patties are cooked through and tender.
6. Thicken the Gravy:
   • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, topped with the rich mushroom and onion gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.

This Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is perfect for those who crave a comforting, home-cooked meal without the hassle of standing over the stove. Enjoy!
