Description

These Slow Cooker Salisbury Steaks are incredibly tender and flavorful, thanks to the long, slow simmer in a
rich mushroom gravy. The beef absorbs the savory sauce while the mushrooms and onions add depth and texture,
creating a comforting dish that feels homemade and satisfying.

Tips

• Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the patties juicy.
• Browning the patties before slow cooking adds extra flavor, but it is optional.
• Use cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper, richer taste.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for the best experience.

Correction / Variations

• Substitute ground turkey for a lighter version.
• Add a splash of cream or sour cream at the end for a creamier gravy.
• Use homemade gravy instead of a packet if preferred.
• Season with thyme or rosemary for added flavor depth.
