Guest Blogger and Crock Pot Salisbury Steak!
Hello Everyone! My name is Tina, and I am so excited to be a Guest Blogger at Southern Plate. First off I want to say thank you to Christy for extending me this wonderful invitation and a spot on her wonderful site for the day.
I am a Stay at Home Mother with three of the cutest kids and a loving husband that makes all that possible. I have loved Cooking and Baking for as long as I can remember. My favorite thing to do is cook for my family and friends. There is no better feeling then sharing all your wonderful dishes.
I started Mommy’s Kitchen just a couple months back. I wanted a place to share all my favorite recipes I have collected over the years. And to let everyone know that your children are never too young to start cooking. All you have to do is give them a chance. I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes with you today, Salisbury steak Crockpot Style. This dish is so easy to prepare and is so versatile, it can be served with Mashed Potato’s, Rice or Noodles what ever tickles you’re fancy.
Its a whopping 102 degrees here in Texas, but what else is new. I am preparing this recipe in my crock pot so I don’t have to turn on the oven. I am not sure about you but my crock pot is my best friend in the summer. It really helps so you don’t have to heat up the house. This recipe doesn’t take all day to cook like a lot of the traditional crock pot meals. You will be preparing half of this recipe on the stove top and then let the crock pot do the rest. When I hear Salisbury Steak my first thought is always of those frozen meals in the store that your get in those little foil trays. Goodness, I just cant eat those they are usually packed with so much sodium and they are so pricey on top of that. This dish is so simple to prepare at home and its not expensive at all and it’s made with ingredients that you usually have on hand.
I was really stumped on a which bread i was going to serve with my meal. I wanted it to be something simple. I know i said i wouldn’t turn on the oven. I couldn’t help it though, I remembered a recipe at the
Southern Plate for a
Southern Hoe Cake. I have been trying to find a reason to make one. Well today is the day. I mean it wont hurt to turn the oven on just for bit!!! I am so glad I made Christy’s recipe it was the perfect addition to my meal. My husbands exact words when he took a bite of Christy’s recipe was ” that’s pretty damn good” LOL, I could not of said it any better. So thanks Christy for another keeper. Now go ahead and get that Crock Pot out and don’t buy another one of those frozen meals again. Give this recipe a try It’s really good Everyone I have shared this recipe with has thanked me.
These are the ingredients you will need.
Mix the first 5 ingredients together. I used cracker crumbs but bread crumbs are fine to.
shape into ovals about ¾ inches thick and place in skillet with just a little bit of oil.
Cook patties in a skillet turning once until brown.
Add onion mushroom and beef broth heat to boiling. Reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 minutes. I did not add mushrooms this time because my husband asked if i could leave them out the next time I made this dish
Bummer!!
Remove patties to a casserole dish or plate and keep warm.
Mix gravy packet according to packet directions. (1 cup water added to gravy mix)
Heat mixture until boiling. Mix water and cornstarch together to make a paste.
Add to boiling mixture.
Use a wire whisk and whisk until gravy begins to thicken. Make sure to watch your pan, because the cornstarch will thicken rather quickly you dont want lumps of cornstarch. My kiddos had a tug of war with my whisk and it broke so i am usuing a large fork.
add the prepared gravy mixture. The original recipe i got years and years ago did not call for any extra gravy. I found after the first time i prepared the recipe the it just wasn’t hearty enough for me so i add the additional gravy mix and the flavor is perfect.
Using the wire whisk again whisk the gravy until it is smooth and thickened. It really comes off with a hearty brown color by adding the additional gravy.
add the Salisbury steak patties to your crock pot and pour the gravy over the patties.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
There you go. This recipe is so good I have been making my Salisbury Steak this way for years.
I served mine with Mashed Potatoes, Green beans & Corn and a piece of a hoe cake.
Here is the picture of the Hoe Cake I made. Slap on some butter and go for it. The recipe for Christy’s hoe cake can be found
here.
Crock Pot Salisbury Steak
Ingredients
- S1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1/3 Cup Bread Crumbs or Cracker Crumbs
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Egg
- Small Onion Sliced (I use half) (Optional)
- 1 Can Condensed Beef Broth
- 1 – 4oz Can Sliced Mushrooms (Drained)
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2Tablespoons Water
- 1 - Packet Brown Gravy Mix or 1 - Jar/Can Brown Gravy
Instructions
- Mix First 5 ingredients together and shape into ovals about ¾ inches thick. Cook patties in a skillet turning once until brown. Add onion mushroom and beef broth heat to boiling. Reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove patties to a casserole dish and keep warm. Heat mixture until boiling. Mix water and cornstarch together to make a paste. Add to boiling mixture with a wire whisk and whisk until gravy begins to thicken. I don’t think the gravy is hearty enough for me so I also add 1 packet of brown or mushroom gravy prepared according to package directions and add to the beef broth gravy. I then pour the gravy over the patties in the casserole dish and bake at 350 until bubbly.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.

April just seeing something makes you want to get up and prepare it right that second. I guess 11pm is a bit late. Thats what i always say when i see christys dishes i want to run to the market right then and get all the ingredients and make it.
Hi Terri this is a wonderfully easy crock pot recipe. I guarentee you will love it.
Stacey I would love to be Christys guinea pig. Is there room for another one LOL I am so glad you liked the recipe.
Hi Maryanne Glad you like my blog. I will stop and pay yours a visit. I love cooking so there are plenty more recipes on the way.
Does this mean I don’t have to visit your blog today? Congrats on the guest blog feature!
Wow! I think I’ll make that this weekend! My boys would LOVE it! I’m starting up my Sunday Football Dinners again now that the season is back ON. This will be a great start!
Great post!
Oh Angie i would really miss your visit on mommy kitchen. I always love to hear from you. I guess i will take any visit i can get even if its here at southern plate. I can say its my second blog home hehehe
Anonymous thanks so much i am glad you liked this dish it really is a keeper of a meal.
Donna this meal would be perfect on the go meal. lmk if you try it.
I made this for dinner last night, but with a couple of minor changes, I used the preformed oval patties from the grocery store (I decided to make this at the last minute) and baked them, with the gravy, in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes just to make sure they cooked all the way through as I just browned them on the stove. Served em up with buttered noodles and buttered peas, there wasnt a bite of it left.
Hi Robert, that sounds like a quick and easy way to do this recipe. That would be perfect if you are in a pinch for time. Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for trying out my recipe.
Tina,
Thank you for putting such a great recipe here in Christys site(aint she wonderful)I will do the steaks the way you do them the next time I make this, I did do everything else like you did and they were still wonderful. I hope Christy lets ya guest blog on here again. Southern cookin ROCKS!!
Aint that that truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~laughs~
Tina, I don’t know about you, but I’m thinkin’ we need to show up at City Cowboy’s house for dinner!!!
~Christy
Sounds like a plan Christy. Set a place for 2 more at the table me and Christy are on our way. On my previous post I put “Aint that the truth” I meant that toward the Southern Cooking Rocks part LMBO not about me being a guest blogger again, although that would be fun again. Ü Citycowboy I hope you dad likes it.
thanks to both you and Christy for the great comments. If Daddy and Mama were still with us, I know they would love all these dishes. If ya’ll wanna come over for supper sometime, bring yourself on down to Houston(after Ike of course)and I will fix ya’ll a big turkey dinner just like mama made when all nine of us kids were still at home.
Ha! Trust me, guys, I plan on dragging Tina back over to Southern Plate as often as I can!
I agree with you all, she’s great!

Beef steak has always been my all time favorite dish and i am always looking for some new recipes that has steak as the main ingredient….
WOW! Made this recipe last night for dinner. It was awesome. Definitely a keeper–even my husband who is usually skeptical of internet recipes was impressed. Thank you for sharing!
I made this this weekend and it was SOOO good! My husband and I both really liked it and I am wanting to make it again really soon.
Thanks!
I am from Louisiana and I must say that I am eager to try this. One thing I have to compliment you on is that you know what a ‘real’ hoe cake is. Most people say that it’s ‘fried cornbread’ which is not true. You made my mouth water with this one. Kudos to you, Tina!
Just made this for Sunday dinner. WOW! We’ve never had homemade Salisbury steak, and boy was it good! The only thing I would do differently is double the whole gravy recipe. We love some good mashed potatoes, and our gravy is a must. So that would be the only thing I would change. It is absolutely delicious! One question, however. On the recipe with the pictures, it says to add to the Crockpot. However, the section with just the recipe only says to put into the oven at 350. Which is it?
I have read a lot of crock pot cook books and am always surprised at how much cooking is done outside the crock pot. Why not just toss the burgers onto the gravy in the fry pan and simmered on low covered?
I always thought cooking with a crock pot meant less washing up but am disappointed that it actually means more time with my hands in the dish water.
Your steaks do look wonderfully scrumptious though.
I just ran across this recipe and I would just finish it off on the stove since you have to heat up the stove and dirty a pan I would just finish it in the pan I already used. That way no extra crock pot to wash. Yes I know about the liners as I do use them but it doesn’t take long to cook salisbury steak.
