Wonderful recipe. I used cream of mushroom soup instead of the cream of chicken. I also added in a can of sliced mushrooms and half of an onion, sliced thinly, at the beginning of cooking. The steaks were very tender, the gravy was absolutely delicious. I didn't think it too salty at all. This recipe will become part of my repertoire. Thanks for sharing.

This was a very good dinner. I followed the ingredients for the patties, except that I didn't flour or fry them. I also followed the suggestion of 556271 and added some cooking wine and Worcestershire sauce (along with garlic) to the gravy. I couldn't find au jus mix, so I just used the canned stuff. The biggest difference is that I completely forgot to put this in the crock pot, so instead of panicking, I formed the patties, put them in a glass baking dish, poured the gravy over top and baked at 350 for 40 minutes. They were awesome! I even used ground turkey instead of beef and the whole family inhaled them. I think the only thing that I will change next time is that I will try to find some low-sodium soup to cut the saltiness a bit. Still delish! Thanks for posting!

I love this recipe and get requests for it on the regular. I make this for the crews I work on while at construction Job sites. This feeds 5 to 8 guys- first break and lunch. Generally in winter. If you are not working outside doing manual labor in -20 wind chill feel free to cut some calories. Tweaks: The crock pot meal prior to this I will make a pot roast with vegis and create extra soup base that gets strained and saved. This is what I reduce down instead of using au jus. The day prior to making the Salisbury patties I cut up 3 or 4 large onions and put them in the crock pot on warm with a stick or so of butter and let them become caramelized either over night or during the day, adding red wine towards the end(It's the same way I start French onion soup) To this I add the reduced pot roast base and 8 to 16 oz of fresh halved baby portabella mushrooms and let that concoction think on low while making the Salisbury Patties. I use ground venison, sausage and beef, some where from 5 to 8 lbs mixed. I also add Worcestershire and fresh minced garlic to the above recipe for the patties and account for basicly doubling it. I use both cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup. For the Mashed taters I boil up potatoes and cauliflower, and whip them with fresh minced garlic, heavy cream, salt, cracked pepper and a little butter(that's in its own crock pot) The last tweak would be fresh cracked pepper and a thick hearty rustic bread to mop up the gravy with at serving time.

Such a wonderful comfort food. My family devoured this dish. I followed the directions as above and didn't find it salty at all. I'm very picky about too much salt, too!

My husband loved this! And it was super easy to make. Paired it with mashed potatoes and a fresh salad and dinner was a snap. I did use other reviewers suggestion of Cream of Mushroom soup. Great easy recipe!
