Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 ounce packet of onion soup and dip mix
Gravy Mixture
- 0.87 ounce packet of brown gravy mix
- 8 ounces beef or chicken broth
- 2 – 10.5 ounce cans of condensed cream of chicken soup
Additional
- 1 small white onion, sliced
- Mashed potatoes or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Slice the small white onion thinly and add the slices to the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a flavorful base for the beef patties.
- Mix and Shape Beef: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion soup and dip mix. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Then, shape the mixture into four to six evenly sized patties.
- Assemble in Crock Pot: Place the beef patties carefully on top of the sliced onions in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the brown gravy mix evenly over the patties to add seasoning and flavor.
- Add Broth and Cream Soup: Pour the beef or chicken broth over the meat and gravy mix. Then, spread the condensed cream of chicken soup over the patties in an even layer to create a creamy sauce as it cooks.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on high heat for 5 hours or on low heat for 8 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the beef becomes tender and the flavors meld perfectly.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the gravy and soups evenly. Optionally, skim off any excess grease from the surface using a turkey baster for a leaner dish. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Remove any excess grease that floats to the top with a turkey baster for a less greasy gravy.
