🍽️ Crockpot Beef Patties & Mushrooms in Rich Gravy

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Make the Patties
In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, breadcrumbs, and egg. Combine well and form into thick oval patties.

Step 2 — Quick Brown (Optional but Recommended)
Lightly oil a pan and brown the patties for 2–3 minutes per side. This adds extra flavor and helps them hold together.

Step 3 — Layer the Crockpot
Place sliced onions and mushrooms in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the patties on top.

Step 4 — Mix the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk together gravy mix, ranch seasoning (if using), and beef broth until smooth.

Step 5 — Slow Cook
Pour the gravy mixture over the patties. Cover and cook:

• Low: 6–7 hours

• High: 3–4 hours

Step 6 — Finish & Serve
Check seasoning and thickness. If you want thicker gravy, leave the lid off for the last 20–30 minutes or stir in a small cornstarch slurry.

🍴 Serving Ideas

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or with warm bread to soak up the gravy. Add a green vegetable or salad on the side for a complete meal.
