Description

Tender frozen meatballs slow-cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce with a hint of tangy steak sauce, perfect for an easy and comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (14 oz) beef broth
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
  • 2-pound bag frozen meatballs (homestyle preferred)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Optional: 12 oz egg noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. In a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, dry onion soup mix, and A1 steak sauce until combined.
  2. Add frozen meatballs to the sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 5 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream until sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Cook egg noodles separately according to package instructions and serve meatballs and sauce over noodles.

Notes

  • Homemade meatballs can be used if browned first to reduce grease.
  • Substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt or heavy cream for different creaminess.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free option.
  • Add Dijon mustard for extra tanginess in the sauce.
  • Lingonberry jam on the side adds a traditional Swedish sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently on stove or microwave, stirring occasionally.
