Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs frozen meatballs beef or turkey
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water optional for thickening

Method
 

  1. Place frozen meatballs into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
  3. Pour the gravy mixture over the meatballs and stir to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
  5. If a thicker gravy is desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes.
  6. Gently stir meatballs to fully coat them in the gravy.
  7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Notes

• Beef meatballs give the classic Salisbury flavor, but turkey meatballs also work great.
• Add sliced mushrooms or onions to cook with the meatballs.
• For extra umami, add a splash of soy sauce or more Worcestershire sauce.
• For a creamier gravy, stir in 2–3 tablespoons sour cream at the end.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles, rice, or crusty bread.
• Store leftovers up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
