Ingredients

• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• ¾ cup finely chopped onion
• ½ cup finely chopped mushrooms
• 1 (4 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• ¾ cup finely chopped celery
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 2 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef
• ½ cup Italian-seasoned panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• ¾ cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 (1 ounce) packet dry onion gravy mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix ground beef, chopped onion, celery, milk, chopped mushrooms, and panko together in a large bowl; shape into 10 patties.

Step 2

Mix all-purpose and whole wheat flours together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge patties in the flour mixture just to coat and move to a platter, taking care to not stack the patties.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Arrange browned patties in a slow cooker crock.

Step 4

Heat remaining oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir sliced mushrooms and sliced onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir cooked mushroom and onion mixture with cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion gravy mix, and black pepper together in a bowl until smooth; pour over the beef patties in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cook on High until patties are very firm, hot, and grey in the center, 3 to 3 1/2 hours (or on Low for 4 to 5 hours). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
