Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 bag (26 oz) frozen meatballs (about 30–35 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

Thickening Slurry

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the frozen meatballs evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure they cook uniformly and absorb the gravy flavors.
  2. Make the Gravy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the reduced-sodium beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a rich and savory gravy base.
  3. Combine in Slow Cooker: Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat all the meatballs evenly without breaking them apart.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the meatballs to heat through completely and become tender while soaking up the delicious gravy.
  5. Thicken the Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry. Add this slurry to the slow cooker and stir gently to incorporate. Continue cooking uncovered for the remaining 30 minutes to let the gravy thicken to a perfect consistency.
  6. Serve: Once the gravy is thick and the meatballs are tender, serve the Salisbury steak meatballs hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a hearty and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Using reduced-sodium beef broth helps control the saltiness of the dish, but you can adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
  • The recipe works well with pre-cooked frozen meatballs to save time, but fresh meatballs can be substituted if desired.
  • For gluten-free preparation, ensure the meatballs and gravy mix are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth if the gravy thickens too much.
