Salisbury Steak Instructions

What type of Ground Beef should I use for Salsbury Steak

It is sometimes hard to figure out what type of ground beef to use for certain dishes but you don’t want anything too greasy or too dry. We want it just right.

Salisbury Steak is like meatloaf, therefore, you want it nice and moist and as a result it can handle a ground beef with a higher fat content. So you can use an 80/20 or even a 70/30 mix for this recipe.

How can I update this timeless classic?

The plus side of this recipe is that it is fairly low carb. Therefore, if you are watching your diet you can serve my Salisbury Steak over riced cauliflower to make a delish meal. Or try riced broccoli or zucchini noodles!

If carbs are not an issue for you but time is a factor, try my Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese. It is a real kid friendly favorite.

Expert Tips for Making the Best Crock Pot Salisbury Steak

  • Mix up your meat: This Recipe can be made with ground Turkey or Venison.
  • Use different mushrooms: You can really make this recipe upscale by adding a different mushroom or a variety of mushrooms and a splash of wine!
  • Serve over noodles: Try serving this dish over noodles.
  • Make patties in advance: You can make the beef patties a day in advance and keep in the fridge.

    I made this for my family tonight for dinner. It is AWESOME! Tastes exactly like Salisbury Steak should taste! Thank you so much for sharing.

    BTW – we made this for three adults and four children and it was the perfect amount. We were all full and there were no left overs. And we are pretty big eaters (I must say – I think it made 10 patties though when I made them. . )

      So glad you like it, Angel! It’s definitely a huge fave in our house! It does make a lot and, if do get leftovers, they are just as good, if not better! Thanks for sharing your feedback! And, thanks for reading! Happy Thanksgiving!

    How many would you say this feeds? It looks great, I’m bookmarking it to make it, just wondering if I would need to double it or not. 6 mouths to feed in this family!

      When I make it, I can usually serve 4 adults and 1 4-year old child and still have a 1 or 2 left over for lunch the next day. I don’t make them huge though. When I form the patties, I try to keep them on the thinner side. I hope this helps.

      My 4 year old LOVES this meal! He gobbles up his entire plate of food without any complaints! I always add an extra can of soup, too, to make more gravy. I hope your family loves it as much as we do!

    Ooooh, what a yummy looking recipe. I like that you added the au jus mix (and the onion soup mix). I have never made this in the crockpot so thanks for giving me a new option, and thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!
