Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for browning meatballs)
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • slow cooker
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over meatballs and mushrooms.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours until meatballs are cooked through.
  6. If thicker gravy is desired, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir into slow cooker and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

For best results, brown the meatballs before adding them to the slow cooker. Serve with a side of vegetables for a complete meal. Leftovers reheat well and taste even better the next day.
