Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs and Vegetables
- 1 (3 lb) bag frozen beef meatballs
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
Gravy Sauce
- 2 (10.75 oz) cans condensed beefy mushroom soup
- 1 packet onion mushroom soup mix
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup A1 steak sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine Meatballs and Onions: Add the frozen beef meatballs and thinly sliced yellow onion to the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed beefy mushroom soup, onion mushroom soup mix, beef broth, and A1 steak sauce until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the meatballs and onions in the slow cooker, then stir gently to coat everything.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
- Thicken the Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, carefully remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and place it in a small bowl. Whisk the cornstarch into this liquid until smooth and lump-free. Stir the cornstarch mixture back into the slow cooker, cover, and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until the gravy thickens to your liking.
- Serve: Once thickened, serve the Salisbury steak meatballs hot over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or cooked egg noodles, or enjoy them alone with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For best results, use beef meatballs to maintain the traditional Salisbury steak flavor; other meat types may alter the taste.
- Do not substitute the beefy mushroom soup or beef broth to preserve the authenticity and depth of flavor.
- If desired, add presliced fresh mushrooms to the slow cooker at the beginning for additional vegetable flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave until warm.
