Description
A simple and hearty dish featuring juicy hamburger steaks simmered in a rich gravy, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup beef broth (or low-sodium broth)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for browning)
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by shaping your ground beef into thick patties, about 1/4 pound each, seasoning generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding vegetable oil. Place the burger patties in the skillet and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Remove the patties and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Transfer the onion to the bottom of your crock pot, placing the seared burger patties on top.
- Mix the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the patties in the slow cooker.
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until cooked through and tender.
- Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
- Serve the hamburger steaks and gravy over mashed potatoes or rice, garnishing with chopped parsley.
