Salisbury Steak

This is one of Chris's favorite meals and a great company meal. You can make it ahead and just let the Crockpot cook.

5lb hamburger
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 packet onion soup mix
1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
all seasons are 1tsp (you can adjust any way you want)
nature's season
garlic powder
oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
1/8 tsp liquid smoke

Mix all together , form patties, and brown in a skillet. While browning cut up a large onion.

Gravy
4 packets of brown gravy mix
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
5 cups of water. I prefer chicken broth.
Just mix it all together it will cook when you bake the patties.

Put the patties in a baking dish with onions and gravy, cover with foil, and cook at 350 for two hours. I cook mine sometimes in the crock pot on high for at least four hours. I make the gravy with a little more broth to make the gravy thinner because the water evaporates from a Crockpot. I highly recommend you try this once for your family before you serve this for company. You might want to tweak the spices or some other thing to suit it towards your taste.
