How to Make Salisbury Steak Meatballs in the Slow Cooker and the Instant Pot

Salisbury Steak Slow Cooker Recipe Cooking Time

I made these Salisbury Steak Meatballs originally in the Instant Pot. They can also be made in the Slow cooker or Crock Pot. The process is very similar. If you are going to make the meatballs in the slow cooker then you would first have to brown the meatballs in a skillet in about 1 Tablespoon of Olive oil. Then add all the ingredients to the slow cooker except the cornstarch and water slurry. You want to save that for the end. The cook time is 3 Hours on High or 4 Hours on Low. After cook time is complete add the cornstarch slurry and stir and then let the sauce thicken for another 20 minutes.

Then add the meatballs. If there’s not enough room doing and two batches. Do not crowd the meatballs during the browning process. Brown meatballs on all sides for about 3 Minutes. Once you have browned all the meatballs remove them from the instant pot.
3. Add onions to instant pot and Brown for about 4 Minutes. Deglaze instant pot with beef broth scraping bottom of pan with a spoon to get all the flavor bits.
4. Return meatballs to instant pot and be careful not to squish them. Put lid on Instant Pot and Seal valve. Push cancel on the instant pot and then push Meat Button and set timer for 5 minutes. When cooking time is complete do a natural release for 5 minutes then release pressure manually. Remove lid from Instant Pot.
