Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

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

Gravy Sauce

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the reduced-sodium beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the gravy mix is well dissolved and the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Place Meatballs in Slow Cooker: Arrange the frozen meatballs evenly in the slow cooker, spreading them out for even cooking.
  3. Add Sauce to Slow Cooker: Pour the prepared gravy sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated with the mixture.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and tender.
  5. Thicken the Gravy: About 20 minutes before serving, in a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the slow cooker, mix well, and continue cooking uncovered to thicken the gravy.
  6. Serve: Once the gravy has thickened and the meatballs are hot throughout, turn off the slow cooker and serve the Salisbury steak meatballs over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • Use reduced-sodium beef broth to control salt levels in the dish.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add a bit more cornstarch slurry gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  • This recipe freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • For a slightly tangier flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a teaspoon of mustard to the gravy.
