Tender, juicy beef meatballs simmered in savory onion gravy, perfect for serving over mashed potatoes or rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Mashed potatoes or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the meatball base: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the meatballs: Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, aiming for 8–12, depending on preferred size.
  3. Prepare the sauce in the slow cooker: In the slow cooker, whisk together the beef broth and onion soup mix. Add the formed meatballs to the slow cooker.
  4. Slow-cook until tender: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the meatballs are cooked through.
  5. Thicken and serve: If desired, whisk cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry; stir into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 10–15 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

For a lighter version, use ground turkey instead of beef. You can make the meatballs ahead and refrigerate before cooking.
