Ingredients You’ll Need
- Ground Beef: The heart of the dish, lean ground beef is ideal. You could also use ground turkey for an even leaner version of this Salisbury Steak recipe!

- Ketchup: Sweetens and moistens the meatball mixture.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Deepens flavor with all that savory goodness!
- Mustard Powder: Adds a kick of flavor to the meat patties.
- Egg: Binds everything together.
- Salt & Pepper: Season to your preference!
- Butter: For browning the patties in before slow cooking.
- Mushrooms: Savory flavor and texture for the gravy.
- Large Onion: Adds sweetness and texture to the gravy.
- Beef Broth: The base of the flavorful gravy. You could also use mushroom or vegetable broth if you prefer.
- Cornstarch: Thickens the gravy to perfection.

What to Serve With Salisbury Steak
- Mashed Potatoes: Mashed potatoes are a must with Salisbury steak! Try my dad’s mashed potatoes or these easy instant pot potatoes.
- Noodles: If you don’t like potatoes, serve this crockpot Salisbury steak over a bed of noodles. We prefer egg noodles but feel free to use any noodles you like!
- Vegetables: Serve with a side of veggies like these green beans for a complete meal!
Storing Leftovers
Crockpot Salisbury steak makes perfect leftovers for a quick and easy lunch. It’s so easy to reheat and enjoy later!
- In the Refrigerator: Store for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
- To Reheat: I always like to reheat leftover Salisbury steaks in a skillet over medium heat. If you need to add moisture back to the patties or gravy, add a splash of beef broth. You can also reheat your steaks in the microwave with 1-minute cooking intervals.
