Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 bag (24 oz) frozen meatballs
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for browning)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. - Brown the Meatballs (Optional)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen meatballs and brown them for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally. While optional, this step enhances the flavor. - Transfer to Slow Cooker
Place the browned (or unbrowned) meatballs into your slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they’re evenly coated. - Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce has thickened. - Serve and Garnish
Serve the meatballs over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an optional garnish.
Pro Tips for Perfect Meatballs:
- Enhance the Flavor: Browning the meatballs adds a caramelized layer of flavor.
- Thicker Sauce: If the sauce is too thin, remove the slow cooker lid for the last 30 minutes to let it thicken.
- Add Veggies: Throw in sliced mushrooms or onions for extra texture and flavor.
