Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
Zero Work Prep: You’re using frozen meatballs — you don’t even have to cook them first — and a slow cooker, which means the prep takes no time and the cooking is hands-free effort.
Deep, Comforting Flavor: Savory gravy, mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce work together to develop deep, comforting flavors.
Mold into a brown sauce to serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes; you can have them as is too and it would be delicious as well.
Family-Style: It’s a hat trick of crowd-pleasing, easy to amp up with more seasonings or veggies.
Key Ingredients:
Frozen meatballs: This is a shortcut and convenient to do, but you could also make homemade meatballs if you want. As long as everything gets properly cooked through before it hits the slow cooker, you’re fine.
Mushrooms: White button or cremini mushrooms are great choices, but you can use any kind you prefer. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, omit them, no problem with the recipe.
Gravy Mix: You can use any brown gravy mix you like as a base, especially for the time when a thickened sauce is required. If you want to watch your salt intake, look for low-sodium gravy mix.
Worcestershire Sauce: Provides depth and an umami flavor to the gravy, giving it a Salisbury steak-like taste.
