Ingredients

Units Scale

For the meatballs:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the gravy:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. For the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together all meatball ingredients until just combined. Roll into 1-inch meatballs and place on a plate or tray.
  2. Brown the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Make the gravy: In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions, then add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Thicken with cornstarch slurry, stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook in slow cooker: Pour the gravy over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours until meatballs are tender.
  5. Serve: Serve warm over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Notes

  • You can use frozen meatballs to save time—just skip the browning step.
  • For a mushroom twist, add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms with the onions.
