ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 large onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
1/2 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, as desired
2 cups water
2 teaspoons beef base or beef bouillon cubes
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
directions
Combine the ground beef, diced onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well but do not overwork the meat. Form the meat into oblong patties.
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Remove the boiling water from the heat and stir in the beef base. Carefully pour the mixture into the crock pot.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the hamburger patties in the skillet and cook, turning as needed, until browned on both sides. Transfer the patties to the crock pot, leaving any juices and drippings in the skillet.
Add the sliced onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until just beginning to soften. Transfer them and any pan juices to the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until the salisbury steaks are cooked through.
If desired, you can remove the salisbury steaks from the crock pot and thicken the juices with cornstarch for a thicker gravy.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I don't know what the one cranky person was complaining about. This isn't a recipe full of packaged foods and you're doing a lot of it from scratch. We loved it. Definitely thicken the gravy. My crock pot at least didn't reduce it down much to make it thick but maybe other crock pots heat differently. Kids said the meat was so good they want me to use the same recipe for grilled burgers.
Doesn't any "modern" cook know how to make a gravy base? Can of this, envelope of that, packet of this, STOP. You need to know the BASICS of cooking for yourself and family. Beef broth, (optional onion) I prefer it in my meat and not in gravy. (Sautéed mushrooms in butter, not totally cooked dark), thickener: flour, cornstarch, arrowroot powder. I suggest using Wondra, it dissolves quickly and easily. Make gravy first, then meat patties lightly browned using what ever filling, no filling. Place gravy and meat in crock pot on low and cook for 3-4 hours. Delicious and it is not "canned or enveloped" just yours! I and my family love it if I make extra, extra gravy to also cover their potatoes, rice, or quinoa.
Not everyone has the ability, means, or inclination to make things from scratch. That's great that you do. We have thousands of recipes here on CDKitchen for people of all different cooking abilities. Some are from scratch, some are not. Please don't berate others for their food choices. If you don't like a recipe, don't make it.
I like all of the ingredients in this dish, but why bother to use a crock pot, one you already sautéed the patties in the frying pan? I continued with the recipe (in my deep frying pan) once the patties were pretty much done. I let it all braise (covered) for about 15 min., so we had dinner in less than 1 hr., instead of 3 hrs. I served the Salisbury Steaks with Buttered Poppy Seed Egg Noodles & Green Beans as side dishes. This meal was a huge hit with my family, and I saved myself a lot of time by not using the crock pot. BTW, the 'steaks' were very tender, even though they weren't in the crock pot for 3 hrs. (I used 90/10% ground sirloin).
There are lots of reasons why someone might want to make this in the crock pot instead of on the stove top.

Not bad. I removed the patties from the crock and then thickened the juice to make a gravy and served over noodles.
