Salisbury Steak: Crock Pot

Sunday is our day for crock pot dinners. It's so nice to come home from church and not have to worry about making dinner because it's already ready!  Plus I'm always hungry after church so it's nice having a nice big dinner ready to go.  I don't have a lot of crock pot recipes but am slowly finding more I like. Do you have any you like?


I came across this recipe a few months ago.  It looked really good. I was really happy with how it turned out.  Derek really liked it too so last time I made it I doubled it so he'd be sure to have something to eat for lunch during the week.


It does take a little prep time in the morning but it's worth it and makes for a nice dinner.  It calls for canned mushrooms, I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms but I really like them in this recipe.  We love to eat it with mashed potatoes because the salisbury steak's are in the crock pot with plenty of gravy but you could also eat it with rice or noodles.


Also you can finish off this recipe in the oven if you don't want to use the crock pot.
