Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ½ of the onion soup mix, bread crumbs, milk, and egg. Use your hands to mix well.
Form 6 oval-shaped flat (Salisbury steak) patties with your hands. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper on each side.
Heat a large frying pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 3 patties to the pan, don’t overcrowd. Cook about 3 minutes each side, until brown. When done, remove from the pan carefully and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Continue with the remaining patties to cook and drain.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream of mushroom soup, ½ the onion soup mix, and water. Whisk to combine.
To the bottom of the Crockpot insert, place 3 patties in a single layer. Add half the soup mix evenly over the patties. Next, add the remaining patties in a layer also. If adding mushrooms, do so now. Finally, add the last half of the soup mixture to the top and spread evenly over the top. Put the lid on the slow cooker. Set for 4 hours on low.
Let stay on warm when done to make your additional sides. You can skim some of the fat off the top if you wish but stir it back in for a rich and amazing gravy that goes wonderful with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
STORING & REHEATING:
Store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Reheat each patty with some gravy for 30-45 seconds in the microwave.
SUBSTITUTIONS:
Use low sodium condensed soup for less salt if needed for dietary or health reasons.
Use ⅓ cup dry minced onions plus ½ teaspoon season salt instead of the Lipton onion soup mix if needed as an alternate.
