Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the frozen meatballs, reduced-sodium beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
  2. Cook Meatballs: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, allowing the meatballs to cook through and absorb the savory sauce.
  3. Make Slurry: About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
  4. Thicken Gravy: Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker mixture. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes on high to thicken the gravy to a smooth, rich consistency.
  5. Serve: Once thickened, give the meatballs a gentle stir. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Use reduced-sodium beef broth and gravy mix to control the salt content.
  • Frozen meatballs should not be thawed before cooking; cook directly from frozen for best texture.
  • You can substitute the brown gravy mix with homemade gravy for a fresher taste.
  • For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or onions to the slow cooker with the meatballs.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
