I pretty closely followed the recipe (though I did almost double the recipe) I was not a huge fan of the steak patties, but the sauce was really very good. I did "tweak" it a little in flavor, mostly because I did not have an exact ingredient at home. It still was good though. I will make it again, but next time alter the patties to our own personal taste. As usual, the recipe is at the bottom of this post.
Start off with pan frying to brown the patties. I used a non stick skillet and tried not to crowd them. 4-5 minutes on each side over medium high heat works fine.
Layer the patties in the bottom of your crockpot. I have a nice large oval crock pot so I could place a lot in. The actual recipe will yield about half that (8-10 patties) depending on how large you form them.
The sauce consists mostly of cream of chicken (or mushroom soup) plus other ingredients.
Pour sauce over the Salisbury steak patties and cook on low.
Serve with cooked pasta, mashed potatoes or rice -- would be great with any of those.The china plate I used was a pattern by Wedgewood - Pattern name: Oberon -- usually around 130 a place setting. I happened upon it at a Bed Bath and Beyond on their clearance table and snatched it up for 27 dollars! Woohoo!
Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak
Serves 6-8
source: allrecipes.com
Ingredients:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (1 ounce) packet dry au jus mix
3/4 cup water
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Shape into 8 patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the patties in flour just to coat, and quickly brown on both sides in the hot skillet. Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water. Pour over the meat. Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours, until ground beef is well done.
Changes I made: I doubled the recipe and the only thing I changed was in the gravy that you pour over the Salisbury Steak patties. I only had one package of au jus - so for my second I used Mc Cormick's Mushroom and Herb Gravy Mix for Steak -- it added nice flavor. I also used one can of cream of mushroom rather than cream of chicken soup. I loved just the sauce. I will make again. The kids who are pasta purists (naked pasta) also liked the sauce enough to dip their pasta in it.
