Description

This Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs recipe offers a convenient and delicious way to enjoy classic comfort food with minimal effort. Frozen meatballs simmer slowly in a rich, flavorful gravy made from beef broth, brown gravy mix, and onion soup mix, enhanced with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Perfect for a hearty family meal, served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 bag frozen meatballs (26 oz)

Gravy Sauce

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Thickening Slurry

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare slow cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the meatballs from sticking during cooking.
  2. Add meatballs: Dump the frozen meatballs directly into the slow cooker insert in an even layer.
  3. Make gravy: In a small bowl, combine beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to create the flavorful gravy mixture.
  4. Pour and coat: Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the meatballs, stirring gently to ensure all meatballs are coated with sauce.
  5. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid, and cook the meatballs on low heat for 6 hours until tender and infused with the gravy flavors.
  6. Stir occasionally: During cooking, stir the meatballs every so often to keep them coated and prevent sticking.
  7. Prepare slurry: When cooking is complete, combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth to form a thickening slurry.
  8. Thicken gravy: Pour the cornstarch slurry onto the meatballs in the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to mix. This will thicken the gravy to a luscious consistency.
  9. Serve: Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a comforting meal. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • Using frozen meatballs makes this recipe quick and convenient.
  • Stirring occasionally during slow cooking ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
  • The cornstarch slurry should be added at the end to thicken the gravy without lumps.
  • For added flavor, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
