Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 780 g before cooking, which is about 195 g per serving.
Steps
Add the ground beef and dry onion soup mix to a bowl. Mix gently with your hands or a fork just until the seasoning is evenly distributed; avoid overworking the meat so the patties remain tender.
Shape the seasoned beef into thick oval patties, dividing it into approximately four equal portions.
Arrange the patties in a slow cooker in a single layer if possible. No browning is required by the source recipe.
Spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the tops of the patties so they are covered with the creamy sauce.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, until the beef is cooked through and tender. For food safety, verify that the patties reach at least 160°F (71 °C) (71°C (160 °F)) internally.
Serve the patties hot with the mushroom gravy. Mashed potatoes are a classic accompaniment; rice or your favorite vegetables also work well.
Notes
Ground turkey may be substituted for the ground beef, though the flavor will be lighter. Fresh sliced mushrooms can be added. For faster cooking, cook on HIGH and check for doneness after about 2½–3½ hours, although LOW produces more tender patties. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days and reheat thoroughly.
