I love a good "set-it-and-forget-it" meal, which is why I love using my Crockpot. It's an easy way to have a home-cooked meal, with minimal dishes, and just a few minutes of my time. And the result is always tender, juicy meat and lots of flavor. My latest Crockpot experiment meal was Salisbury steak. And it turned out delicious!
Ingredients
1 lb ground elk, or other wild game meat
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 packet onion soup mix
1 tbsp butter
2 packets of brown gravy mix + 2 cups of water
Directions
Mix together ground meat, mayo, Italian breadcrumbs, and 2 tbsp onion soup mix in a large bowl.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While butter is melting, divide the meat into 6 equal patties. Brown the patties in the skillet over medium, about 3 minutes per side.
While the patties are browning, make the brown gravy. Put 2 cups of water in a small pot, add two packets of brown gravy mix, and the remaining onion soup mix.
Once the patties are nice and browned, place them on a paper towel to drain (if needed, depending on the fat content of the meat). Then carefully place the patties in the Crockpot. Place in a single layer if possible.
Pour the brown gravy over the patties.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Serve with your favorite sides. I prefer mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans.
Enjoy!
