How to Make Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Patties

Step 1: Form the Patties
Divide the ground beef into six equal portions and shape them into oval patties about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Press each one firmly so they hold together during cooking. If desired, lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Arrange in the Slow Cooker
Place the uncooked patties in a single layer across the bottom of the slow cooker. Avoid overlapping them so they cook evenly and stay covered in the sauce.

Step 3: Prepare the Gravy
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, and water until smooth and well blended.

Step 4: Cover the Patties
Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the beef, making sure each patty is fully coated. This helps keep the meat moist throughout the cooking process.

Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2 1/2–3 hours, until the patties are tender and the gravy is thick and flavorful.

Step 6: Serve
Carefully remove the patties with a spatula to keep them intact. Stir the gravy to combine the flavorful cooking juices, then spoon plenty of it over each patty before serving.
