• 2 T. milk
• 1/8 t. salt
• 1/4 t. black pepper

Steps

1. In a large bowl, add ground beef, crackers, egg, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano; mix with clean hands, not over mixing. Form mixture into 4 patties; set aside.
2. In another large bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, both gravy packets, thyme and water until smooth; set aside.
3. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add just enough oil to coat the bottom. When oil and skillet are hot, add patties; brown on both sides, not cooking through. They will finish cooking in the crock pot.
