The Savvy Salisbury Steak is here with a mission: to help you make an American classic without putting in all that much work. All it asks of you is to make the beef patties, give them a little browning for color and an extra touch of flavor, then put everything in a slow cooker. The slow cooker takes care of the rest. The result? Tender, savory beef patties with deep flavor in a thick, luscious gravy, perfect for draping over a bed of mashed potatoes! Savvy Salisbury Steak is for those cooks who want restaurant-quality without the stress. Sounds good to us!
