Hearty Salisbury Steak in the Slow Cooker

Step 5: Thicken the Gravy

About 20–30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker.

Turn the heat to high (if not already) and let the gravy thicken until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Carefully spoon the Salisbury steaks onto plates and generously ladle the rich onion gravy over the top.
