Instructions
Mix and Shape: In a bowl, blend ground beef, breadcrumbs, and onion soup mix. Form into 8 oval patties.
Dredge Patties: Coat each patty in flour, ensuring even coverage.
Brown Patties: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown patties on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side) then transfer to your slow cooker.
Create the Sauce: Combine cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour over the patties in the slow cooker.
Slow Cook: Cover and set to cook on low for 4-5 hours until the patties are tender and cooked through.
