Salisbury steak is such a hearty meal. Another family favorite, like little hamburgers full of flavor. We love to make it but with busy schedules we often don’t have the time to come home and prepare it. This recipe makes this dish so easy to put on the table.
Freezer to Crockpot Salisbury Steak
Putting this dish together takes some steps, but nothing to time consuming. Mix the dry ingredients, egg, and burger. Form patties and dredge through the flour. Brown and cool. Prepare the au jus and mix in the soups. Cool and bag it up. This recipe make a creamy sauce that you usually don’t associate with salisbury steak, but it is so good. We put it on everything. Whip up a batch of mashed potatoes, steam some broccoli, and this dinner is ready to go.
For all freezer meals make sure to label your freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and prep date. Freezer meals can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Here are some other awesome things about freezer-to-crockpot meals:
- Most of these meals require no cooking ahead of time, so that means the recipes are very easy to prep.
- The meals cook for the first time out of the freezer so they don’t taste like leftovers (BUT leftovers are okay right?!)
- For us that coupon, we can take advantage of all the sales and freeze a couple at a time. (Most freezer meals will last for at least 3 months.)
