Recipe #326: Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak

I loved how easy, filling and full of flavor this was, and it makes a lot for cheap.  It's a tad on the salty side, but I wouldn't change a thing.  I served it over mashed potatoes.  Allrecipes.com provided this one, and I made a couple changes.

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 mushroom soup
• 1 (1 ounce) packet dry au jus mix
• 3/4 cup water

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Shape into 8 patties.
2. 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.
