Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • small bowl
  • serving spoon

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen meatballs in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms over the meatballs.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the meatballs are hot and the onions are tender.
  6. About 20 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry.
  7. Stir the slurry and butter into the slow cooker, then cover and cook on high for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
  8. Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed.
  9. Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs and gravy over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, brown the onions in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. If you prefer a thicker gravy, let the sauce cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes after adding the slurry.
