Instructions:
Blend together ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, and dry onion soup mix in a bowl. Craft this into 8 elongated patties.
Lightly dust each patty in the all-purpose flour.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over a medium-high flame. Sear the patties until golden, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer them into the slow cooker.
Whisk together the cream of chicken soup, dry au jus mix, and water in a separate bowl. Drizzle this over the patties nestled in the slow cooker.
Secure the lid and let it simmer on low for about 4-5 hours. The patties should emerge tender and thoroughly cooked.
