This Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs recipe offers a delicious, comforting dish with tender meatballs simmered in a rich, savory brown gravy. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or gathering, the slow cooker does all the work while infusing the meatballs with deep flavors of beef broth, onion soup, and Worcestershire sauce.

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
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
  2. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until well blended.
  3. Add Meatballs to Slow Cooker: Place frozen meatballs evenly into the slow cooker insert.
  4. Pour Sauce Over Meatballs: Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the meatballs, making sure they are mostly covered.
  5. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through and tender.
  6. Thicken the Gravy: About 20 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the gravy. Replace the lid and cook on high for the remaining time.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once the gravy has thickened, stir gently and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute homemade meatballs if preferred; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free brown gravy and onion soup mix.
  • To enhance flavor, brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker (optional step).
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or microwave to maintain sauce consistency.
