🛒 INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb (900 g) raw ground beef, shaped into 6 oval patties
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed French onion soup
- ¾ cup (180 ml) low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 6 slices Provolone or Swiss cheese
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ ADD THE ONIONS
Spread the sliced onion evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
2️⃣ ADD THE RAW BEEF PATTIES
Shape the ground beef into 6 oval patties and arrange them over the onions. Keep the patties raw—no browning is needed.
3️⃣ ADD THE FRENCH ONION SOUP
Spoon the condensed French onion soup directly over the patties.
4️⃣ POUR IN THE BROTH
Pour the beef broth gently around the sides of the slow cooker.
5️⃣ ADD THE WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the patties.
6️⃣ SLOW COOK
Cover and cook on LOW for about 4–5 hours or HIGH for about 2–3 hours, until the patties reach at least 160°F (71°C) in the center. Check with a food thermometer.
7️⃣ ADD THE CHEESE
Place one slice of Provolone or Swiss cheese directly on top of each cooked patty.
8️⃣ MELT THE CHEESE
Cover for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted over the patties.
9️⃣ SERVE
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Spoon the soft onions and rich French onion gravy over the beef.
💡 TIP
Keep the onions underneath the patties during cooking so they soften in the savory juices without disturbing the meat.
