Ingredients
2 lbs. ground beef
1 package onion-mushroom soup mix (or onion soup mix)
1/2 cup saltine crackers, crushed
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 (10 oz.) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 package brown gravy mix, prepared according to package directions (or about 1 cup leftover roast gravy)
Sliced mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, soup mix, crushed crackers, egg, and milk. Mix gently and shape into eight even patties.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour the flour onto a plate and dredge each patty on both sides to lightly coat.
- Brown the patties briefly in the hot oil until each side has a light crust. You do not need to cook them through.
- Place the browned patties in the crockpot; they may overlap.
- If using, add sliced mushrooms on top of the patties.
- Mix the cream of mushroom soup with the prepared brown gravy (or roast gravy) and pour the combined gravy over the patties.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, until patties are cooked through and the gravy is thick and flavorful.
Notes
*To dredge the patties, pour flour onto a plate and press each patty into the flour to coat both sides.
**If you prefer a richer gravy, use about 1 cup of leftover roast gravy in place of the packet. Sliced mushrooms add extra depth and texture.

Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (3–4 oz.) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions onto greased or lined cookie sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart.
- Bake about 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and just set. The centers should remain soft and slightly puffy.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Kitchen And Baking Tips
- Definition of “cream together” — When a recipe instructs you to cream ingredients like butter and sugar, beat them until light and fluffy. This helps create a tender, airy texture in cookies and cakes.
- Storing garlic and onions — Use a paper bag with several punched holes on both sides to store garlic and onions. This simple method improves airflow and helps them stay fresh longer.
- Make quick frosting from pudding — Mix instant pudding with half the milk the package calls for and fold in whipped topping. Use this mixture to frost cakes, cupcakes, or crepes. Different pudding flavors open up many tasty combinations, like banana pudding for banana or chocolate cakes, or white chocolate pudding for spice or vanilla cakes.
