🛒 Ingredients
For the beef patties:
- 2 lb (900 g) raw ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the creamy mushroom gravy:
- 8 oz (225 g) fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- ¾ cup (180 ml) low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Additional black pepper to taste
For serving:
- 6 portions creamy mashed potatoes
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Shape the beef patties
Place the raw ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Gently divide it into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a thick oval patty. Avoid overworking the meat to help keep the patties tender.
2. Prepare the mushrooms
Clean the fresh mushrooms and slice them into even pieces. Set aside until ready to assemble the slow cooker.
3. Arrange the beef
Place the six raw beef patties into the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer as much as possible. Leave a little space between them to help distribute the cooking liquid.
4. Add the mushrooms
Scatter the sliced mushrooms evenly over and around the beef patties. Make sure some mushrooms are distributed between the patties for maximum flavor.
5. Prepare the creamy gravy
In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
6. Pour over the beef
Carefully spoon the mushroom gravy mixture over the beef patties and mushrooms. Spread it gently so the patties are covered as evenly as possible.
7. Add butter and seasoning
Distribute the small butter pieces over the top. Sprinkle with black pepper to enhance the savory flavor.
8. Slow cook to perfection
Cover with the lid and cook:
- LOW: Approximately 4–5 hours.
- HIGH: Approximately 2–3 hours.
Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the beef patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) in the center.
Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker and the thickness of the patties.
9. Keep the patties intact
Avoid stirring or moving the patties while cooking. Once fully cooked, gently lift each patty from underneath using a wide spatula to prevent breaking.
10. Serve and enjoy!
Prepare creamy mashed potatoes and arrange them on serving plates. Place one beef patty beside each portion, then generously spoon the rich mushroom gravy and tender mushroom slices over the beef and potatoes.
Finish with a little fresh chopped parsley if desired.
💡 Tips for the Best Results
- Choose the right beef: Ground beef with approximately 80/20 fat content gives juicy, flavorful patties.
- Don’t overmix: Gently shaping the patties helps prevent a dense texture.
- Use fresh mushrooms: They add a wonderful earthy flavor to the gravy.
- Don’t add extra salt too early: Condensed soup and beef broth already contain sodium.
- Avoid stirring: This helps keep the beef patties intact.
- Want thicker gravy? Once cooked, carefully remove the patties and thicken the gravy separately with a cornstarch slurry if needed.
- Serve immediately: These patties are especially delicious over warm mashed potatoes.

🧊 Storage & Reheating
