Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef or a mix of beef and pork
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning, optional
For the Gravy:
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water for thickening

Method
 

  1. Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Brown the meatballs (optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brown the meatballs for extra flavor.
  3. Assemble in the slow cooker: Place sliced onions and mushrooms in the slow cooker, then add the meatballs on top.
  4. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Pour over the meatballs.
  5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours until the meatballs are tender.
  6. Thicken the gravy: In the last 30 minutes, stir in the cornstarch slurry and let the sauce thicken.
  7. Serve hot: Serve the meatballs and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey for a lighter version.
  • Add frozen meatballs for a super easy shortcut.
  • If you don’t have cornstarch, use flour to thicken the gravy.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
