Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag (26 oz) frozen meatballs (about 30-35 meatballs)
- 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Thickening Mixture
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the insert of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add meatballs: Place the entire bag of frozen meatballs into the slow cooker evenly.
- Mix sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined for a flavorful gravy base.
- Combine and cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the frozen meatballs and stir gently to combine. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 5 to 6 hours to allow the meatballs to heat through and flavors to meld.
- Thicken gravy: When the cooking time is up, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry, then stir it into the crockpot. Cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the gravy has thickened to your liking.
- Serve: Ladle the Salisbury steak meatballs and gravy over egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy a hearty and delicious meal!
