Description

A comforting and easy slow cooker recipe that transforms frozen meatballs into tender Salisbury steak-style bites in rich mushroom gravy.


Ingredients

  • 2024 frozen meatballs
  • 2 cups beef broth (or stock)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (dry)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place frozen meatballs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and mushrooms (if using).
  3. Pour the mixture over the meatballs.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until meatballs are heated through and sauce is thickened.
  5. Stir gently before serving to coat meatballs in gravy.

Notes

  • Substitute beef broth with mushroom or vegetable broth for a flavor twist.
  • For richer gravy, stir in heavy cream or sour cream before serving.
  • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free soup and onion soup mix.
  • Add frozen peas or carrots in the last 30 minutes for extra veggies.
  • Thicken gravy with a cornstarch slurry in the final 15–20 minutes if desired.
