  • Total Time: 3 hours (on HIGH)
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (26 oz) frozen meatballs (about 3035 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

Instructions

  • Spray the slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker.

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

  • Pour the mixture over the meatballs and stir gently to coat them evenly.

  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 5–6 hours, or on HIGH for about 3 hours.

  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until dissolved. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker.

  • Let it cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your liking.

  • Serve the meatballs with gravy over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • No need to thaw the meatballs before cooking.

  • For a lighter version, substitute turkey or chicken meatballs.

  • Add mushrooms or sliced onions for extra flavor and texture.

  • Adjust the gravy thickness by adding more or less cornstarch slurry.

  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3–4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
