Description

This Tasty Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs recipe offers a comforting and savory meal perfect for busy days. With frozen meatballs simmered in a rich brown gravy infused with onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, this dish requires minimal prep but delivers maximum flavor. Cooked slowly to tender perfection, these meatballs pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 bag (26 oz) frozen meatballs (about 30-35 meatballs)

Gravy

  • 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gravy: In the slow cooker, combine the beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well until all ingredients are fully integrated.
  2. Add the Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly coated with the gravy mixture to absorb the flavors during cooking.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the meatballs to fully heat through and the flavors to meld.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, create a slurry by mixing cornstarch with cold water. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the gravy, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps.
  5. Serve: Once the gravy has thickened, gently stir the meatballs and sauce together. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use frozen meatballs directly from the freezer; no need to thaw before cooking.
  • You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a slightly lighter taste.
  • If you prefer thicker gravy, add more cornstarch slurry gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a microwave or stovetop.
  • Pair this dish with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
