Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is such an easy, kid-friendly meal! Ground beef patties with a delicious creamy gravy – all cooked in the slow cooker!
We love comfort food like salisbury steak in our house. Some of our other favorites are Slow Cooker Mississippi Roast, Baked Spaghetti Casserole, and Chicken and Wild Rice Soup.
I have gotten into really bad dinner habits over the past 8 months.
With my husband gone there was no need to have dinner ready at a certain time so sometimes we’d have “dinner” at lunchtime and then eat cereal for dinner. Or sometimes I’d skip dinner altogether and everyone would just have PB&J.
I won’t lie, I skipped cooking a lot. A whole lot.
In an effort to get back into a routine, I actually made a meal plan and stuck to it last week. It made my week go a lot smoother and surprisingly, was a lot of fun.
This dinner was the favorite of the week – all 3 of the boys like it and have asked me to make it again soon! And I love that it’s made in the slow cooker and is super easy!
Ingredients
- Ground beef
- Onion soup mix
- Italian breadcrumbs
- Milk
- Flour
- Olive oil
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Au jus mix
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to mix together ground beef, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, and milk. Once thoroughly mixed, divide into 8 patties and shape into over-shaped patties.
- Dredge in flour and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the patties, a few at a time, for just a minute on each side.
- Transfer to slow cooker, stacking if you need to.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together mushroom soup, au jus mix, and water.
- Pour over the patties in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
How Long Is Salisbury Steak Good For?
Salisbury steak will be fine in the fridge for up to 3 – 4 days. Make sure to use an airtight container to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
To reheat, you can use a microwave or oven. If the gravy is too thick, a splash of chicken broth or water will help to loosen it up.
Can You Freeze Salisbury Steak?
You can definitely freeze salisbury steak. Use an airtight container (or a freezer ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out – lay it flat until frozen and then you can stack or put sideways) and eat within 3 months.
I would defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave or oven.
What To Serve with Salisbury Steak
I like to serve Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes with this salisbury steak because the potatoes can soak up all the extra sauce. Rice always works the same way!
A green vegetable is always nice with a dish like this too. Maybe Roasted Broccolini or Green Beans Almondine.

Substitute for cream of mushroom? Allergies.
Jennifer says
Cream of chicken
Allie says
We can’t have mushrooms. Is there another suggestion for the gravy part ? This sounds so delicious my husband would love it.
Virginia says
Eight patties would be too much for the two of us. Can some of this recipe be frozen?
amanda says
Yeah, it should be fine to freeze. :)
Bobbie says
wondering if I could make this in oven as well??
Wendy says
I would use 1/2 package of the onion soup mix and half the au jus mix otherwise it is way to salty,
Tori says
This is absolutely delicious. It’s my husbands favorite. Would anyone know what the nutritional value of this meal is?
Christie says
Do you think you could make this with ground turkey to make it a little healthier?
Kathryn Maccuaig says
I am Canadian….never heard of Au Jus Mix! Do you know of an alternative that I could use here? Or what is in that mix that I could maybe make something similar here!
Andrea says
I have done it I make beef for my father in law and ground turkey for me and my boyfriend
Angelina says
I haven’t yet made this dish(and it sounds scrumptious), but I’m wondering why we should brown the patties, and then put them into a slow cooker? It would be much quicker to make this dish on the stove in a large skillet. Why use the Slow Cooker at all? I love ‘Slow Cooker recipes’, but this one can easily be made in a large skillet. I’d serve this dish over buttered Egg Noodles, and I’d sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over it. (Note: A little sprinkle of garlic powder into the meat mixture wouldn’t hurt).

i am always looking for more slow cooker recipes—yum!!
and i hear you, it’s hard to get motivated to cook some weeks (and I imagine moreso when your hubby is gone)!
Tracey says
I’ve never had salisbury steak in my life, but man oh man does this look delicious! And it’s made in the slow cooker? Yes, please!
Yum Yucky says
This is exactly the kind of tasty meal that would make me a hero among the Greedy Family. Especially since I’m currently in the dog house for trying to feed them a vegetarian meal. All hell broke loose.

I would absolutely love this…the onion soup is perfect in there. I made meatloaf Sunday and put onion soup in it, totally love this. And crockpot = genius!
