Ingredients
1½ pounds ground beef (formed into 4–6 patties)
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 oz) packet brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water
Optional (not counted in core 4): Salt and pepper for seasoning, nonstick spray for slow cooker
Instructions
Shape the ground beef into 4–6 oval patties, pressing slightly thinner in the center for even cooking. Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired.
In a bowl, whisk together condensed cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, and water until smooth.
Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray. Spread a thin layer of gravy mixture in the bottom.
Place beef patties in a single layer (slight overlap is okay). Pour remaining gravy mixture evenly over the top.
Cover and cook:
On LOW for 5–6 hours
Or on HIGH for 2½–3 hours
Serve hot, spooning plenty of gravy over each Salisbury steak.
Notes
Swap cream of mushroom for cream of onion or chicken if desired.
Add sliced onions or canned mushrooms for extra flavor (optional additions).
Make mini patties for kids or faster cook time.
For leaner version, use lean ground beef or a beef/turkey blend.
If gravy is too thick, stir in a splash of water or broth before serving.
