Description
Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs — tender frozen meatballs simmered in a savory brown gravy, perfect for serving over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for an easy, comforting weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (26 oz) (about 30–35 frozen meatballs)
- 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
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Spray the insert of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Dump the frozen meatballs directly into the slow cooker insert.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs and gently stir to coat.
5. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water to make a slurry.
7. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
8. Serve the meatballs hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
Perfect pairings: Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or rice. Steamed green beans, roasted broccoli, or a crisp green salad make bright sides.
Tips: Use reduced-sodium broth and seasonings to control salt. If you prefer a thicker gravy, add the cornstarch slurry a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
