Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 32 ounces frozen homestyle meatballs

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Add Meatballs: Place the frozen homestyle meatballs into the crockpot bowl, spreading them out evenly.
  2. Make Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the low sodium beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, half and half, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Cook: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the frozen meatballs in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, allowing the meatballs to heat through and the sauce to thicken.
  4. Finish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, stir the sour cream into the crockpot to make the sauce creamy and rich. Mix well, then serve the Swedish meatballs hot, optionally over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Using frozen meatballs makes this recipe quick and convenient without sacrificing flavor.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste before cooking to customize the sauce intensity.
  • Stir in the sour cream at the end to prevent curdling during slow cooking.
  • This recipe can be served with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve sauce texture.
