Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak

Background and History

Salisbury steak is a classic American dish with roots dating back to the late 19th century. It was invented by Dr. James Salisbury, a physician who recommended a diet heavy in lean meat to his patients for health reasons. Salisbury steak traditionally consists of seasoned ground beef patties served with gravy, and it has remained a beloved comfort food over the years. This slow cooker version offers a convenient twist on the traditional recipe.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Optional: sliced mushrooms, for garnish

Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Serves

4-6

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

4-6 hours on low heat

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Place the patties in the slow cooker.

In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture over the patties in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the patties are cooked through and tender.

Once cooked, remove the patties from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.

If desired, thicken the gravy by transferring it to a saucepan and simmering over medium heat until thickened.

Serve the Salisbury steak patties hot, topped with the gravy. Garnish with sliced mushrooms and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
