Serve with creamy, mashed potatoes or add potatoes cut up in small chunks about an 1-2 hours before steaks finished the cooking process or serve it over egg noodles with some green beans.

Servings: 8

Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef - ground sirloin or ground round
1/2 packet (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
(1 ounce) packet dry au jus mix or a jar of au jus (2 beef bouillon cubes)
3/4 cup water
1 chopped onion (optional)

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Add Worcestershire sauce to the meat for added flavor. Shape into 8 patties.
Do not over mix beef mixture or it will become tough. Handle steaks with care or they will fall apart.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Dredge the patties in flour just to coat, and quickly brown on both sides in the hot skillet.

Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, au jus mix, and water.

Optional: Add chopped onion to mixture. Add mushrooms for a different flavor or texture.
Pour over the meat.

Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours, until ground beef is well done.
