CrockPot Salisbury Steak

Ingredients

Beef Patties:
2 Pounds Extra Lean Ground Beef
½ Cup Seasoned Italian Breadcrumbs
1 Large Egg
1 Clove Garlic (Minced)
¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Mushroom & Onion Gravy:
8 Ounces Mushrooms (Sliced)
1 Medium Yellow Onion (Cut In Half Lengthwise And Then Sliced Into Thin Strips)
1 Packet Onion Soup Mix
¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Cups Low-Sodium Beef Stock
¼ Cup Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar Glaze (Optional)

Directions

Beef Patties:
In a medium bowl mix together with your hands all of the ingredients for the beef patties (hamburger, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, salt & pepper).

Form hamburger mixture into 6 uniformly shaped patties about 1/2 inch thick.

In a large non-stick skillet brown patties on medium-high heat for about 2 – 3 minutes on each side.

Gently transfer browned ground beef patties to the bottom of a 3.5 quart casserole slow cooker OR a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.

Mushroom & Onion Gravy:
Place sliced mushrooms and sliced onions over the top of the beef patties in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl mix together the rest of the gravy ingredients (onion soup mix, flour, beef stock, parsley and balasmic glaze if using). Whisk together until the flour is dissolved in the liquid.

Pour gravy mixture over beef patties, onion and mushrooms in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.

Serve patties and gravy over mashed potatoes, cooked rice or egg noodles. Sprinkle with additional chopped fresh parsley for a bright pop of color!
