If you love the savory, rich taste of Salisbury steak but prefer to avoid spending your evening standing over a stove, this recipe is for you. By using frozen meatballs, you get all that wonderful flavor with practically zero effort, making it a perfect meal for busy weeknights when you want something cozy.

My family loves these meatballs served over a big pile of mashed potatoes, rice, or buttery egg noodles to soak up every drop of that mushroom gravy. It is a hearty, simple dinner that satisfies everyone at the table without any of the usual fuss.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1 bag (26 ounces) frozen meatballs
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 package (1 ounce) onion soup mix
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Lightly spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place the frozen meatballs and sliced mushrooms into the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, and ketchup.

  4. 4

    Pour this mixture over the meatballs and mushrooms.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together to make a slurry.

  7. 7

    Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and let it cook for a few more minutes until the gravy is nicely thickened.

  8. 8

    Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat, simply warm them on the stove or in the microwave, adding a tiny splash of beef broth if the gravy has thickened too much in the fridge.
