SALISBURY STEAK FROM THE CROCKIN' GIRLS

I got this recipe email today.  I thought it worth sharing with you.  When I make it I will make some changes including using whole-grain crackers instead of saltines.  I will use canola or coconut oil and low-fat or fat-free cream of mushroom soup.

• 
  
• 2 Pounds lean ground beef
• 1 Package onion mushroom soup mix
• 1/2 Cup crushed saltine crackers
• 1 egg
• 1/4 Cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 Cup flour
• 2 Cans cream of mushroom soup
• 1 Package brown gravy mix

In a large bowl, mix together beef, onion mushroom soup mix, crushed saltine crackers, egg, and milk.

1. Using your hands, shape beef mixture into 8 patties.
   
   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   
   Dredge the patties in flour to coat and brown on both sides.
   
   Place the browned patties into the slow cooker (overlapping is ok).
   
   In a medium bowl, prepare the brown gravy according to package instructions.  Mix in both cans of mushroom soup; pour gravy mixture over the patties.
   
   Cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until beef is done.
