Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs and Vegetables

  • 36 ounces frozen meatballs
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce Mix

  • 1 envelope brown gravy mix
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth (low-sodium) or water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen meatballs, sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, minced garlic, gravy and soup mixes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
  2. Add Meatballs and Vegetables: Place the frozen meatballs in the slow cooker. Scatter the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic evenly over the meatballs to distribute flavors.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour the beef broth (or water if preferred) and the Worcestershire sauce over the meatballs and vegetables ensuring they are moistened for a rich sauce.
  4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the brown gravy mix and onion soup mix evenly on top of all ingredients in the slow cooker to create the savory gravy base.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 3 to 5 hours or until the meatballs are thoroughly heated through and the sauce has thickened, stirring once halfway through cooking for even flavor distribution.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, serve the meatballs and sauce hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley to add a fresh and colorful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels.
  • Can substitute water if beef broth is unavailable.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure gravy mixes are certified gluten-free.
  • Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even flavor melding.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for a complete meal.
