How to Make Crockpot Salisbury Steak

Step 2 – Place the mushrooms and onions in the bottom of a 6 quart crock pot. Then place the patties on top.
Step 3 – In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard.
Step 4 – Pour this mixture into the crock pot over the beef.
Step 5 – Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 3 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Step 5 – Remove the patties from the crock pot and set aside.
- Step 6 – Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the crock pot.
- Step 7 – Cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Then add the beef patties back to the crock pot.

- Egg Noodles – We love to serve this recipe for slow cooker salisbury steak with egg noodles but any type of pasta you have on hand will be delicious.
- Roasted Vegetables – This meal is also good with asparagus. This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make. We even love roasted broccoli as an easy side dish.
- Mashed Potatoes – Another idea we love is mashed potatoes. I love to spoon the gravy over the mashed potatoes for an amazing meal.
- Homemade Rolls – To get every last drop of the gravy, make Homemade Rolls. They are easy to make and pair perfect with this dish.
Recipe Tips
- Hamburger Patties – The hamburger patties are easy to prepare with simple seasoning.
- Searing the Patties – We recommend searing the patties before placing in the slow cooker. It adds flavor and texture to the patties before being slow cooked.
- Make Ahead – While you are preparing the hamburger patties, we like to go ahead and double to recipe. Place the uncooked patties in the freezer to make this meal again.
- Skillet – Spray cooking spray on skillet before cooking patties.

I’m so glad. Cindy, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
This is my husband’s new favorite meal! So delicious!
I made this recipe for dinner and we all loved it! Even my piiiiicky stepson loved it! Yummy!!
I made this today and must say it was fantastic. I used ground Venison with a little beef fat in it instead of ground beef and it was so flavorful and tender. I also doubled up on mushrooms. I made some garlic mashed potatoes for a side. Definitely be on my go to list.
So glad you loved it!
Outstanding recipe! It’s changed my method for brown gravy altogether, but with the hamburger steaks, it’s amazing! Family fav! I finished cooking mine in the instapot, but I can’t remember how long. Sorry folks!
I’m making this tomorrow. I can’t wait. I also will be making the chicken and rice the next day. I really want to try the meatloaf, but I have a question. When I do
the meatloaf, I wonder if there’s a way to not have it sitting in drippings. Otherwise won’t it be soggy? I am loving your site
I will be making Chicken and Dumplings!
