This recipe brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. Growing up in the 60's & 70's Salisbury Steak was a staple in our family. Although, my Mom did not make hers in a slow cooker, my version, dare I say, is BETTER (and Mom's was the BEST!!) The secret to this recipe is to brown the patties and slow cook them. Serve alongside mashed potatoes smothered in delicious brown gravy and fresh cut green beans! You know it's GOOD when the kids ask for seconds!!
