Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak and Mashed Potatoes
Description
The dish combines seasoned ground beef formed into patties with a blend of ketchup, mustard, and optional beef base or bouillon for depth of flavor. The patties are browned on the stovetop before transferring to a slow cooker, where sliced onions and cremini mushrooms cook in butter until tender. Beef broth is added, and the mushroom and onion mixture is layered on top of the patties, allowing flavors to meld during the slow cooking process.
Mashed potatoes are prepared directly in the slow cooker alongside the meat, with whole russet potatoes cooked until tender. Butter, sour cream, and milk are incorporated to create creamy, smooth potatoes that complement the rich, savory Salisbury steak. The method includes separating the potatoes with foil and handling them carefully when ready to mash, preserving texture and preventing overcooking.
This meal suits family dinners or occasions when a comforting, filling dish is desired with minimal hands-on time. The gravy and mushrooms add umami richness, balanced by the buttery, creamy potatoes. The recipe highlights practical slow cooker use for an entire meal, facilitating ease and consistent results.

- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper divided, crushed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 8 ounces cremini mushroom sliced

- 6 russet potato scrubbed clean
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
SALISBURY STEAK
- Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, beef base (if using), 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt and half the black pepper.
- Form them into four patties and add the patties to a heavy skillet or the stovetop safe slow cooker insert.
- Cook the patties on medium-high heat until browned on both sides, 4-5 minutes per side.
- Place the patties into 1/2 of the slow cooker.
- Add the butter to the pan and add the rest of the salt and pepper to the onions and mushrooms.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, stir, then cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Add to the slow cooker on top of the cooked beef patties.
MASHED POTATOES:
- Add a piece of 12?x12? inches of foil into half of the slow cooker.
- Place the clean and scrubbed potatoes into the slow cooker and press down tightly with another sheet of foil.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
TO FINISH:
- Uncover the foil and remove the potatoes. Peel if you’d like by rubbing off the skin with a paper towel or leave the skin on.
- In a bowl smash the potatoes with a potato masher.
- Add in the butter, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper and mash until desired consistency (I mashed the pictured potatoes for 1 minute).
- Add the potatoes back to the slow cooker in the foil still lining the bottom.
- In a cup mix the beef broth, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and one tablespoon of cornstarch and add it to the beef patties.
- Cook on high for 20 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, optional.
