Description

Creamy, comforting Swedish meatballs made effortlessly in the slow cooker. Tender meatballs simmer in a rich, savory gravy that thickens beautifully—perfect served with noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.


Ingredients

24 oz frozen meatballs

Two 10.5-oz cans cream of mushroom soup

1 cup beef broth

1 cup sour cream

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp cold water

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours (or HIGH for 2 hours) until heated through and creamy.
  5. 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Stir into the sauce to thicken.
  6. Once thickened, stir gently, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Add sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.

Stir in heavy cream for a richer sauce.

Use turkey or chicken meatballs for a lighter option.

Add a pinch of nutmeg for classic Swedish flavor.

Loosen thickened leftovers with broth or water when reheating.
