Equipment
- 1 slow cooker
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 skillet optional for browning meatballs
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 mixing spoon
- 1 serving spoon
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional, for thickening
- 2 tablespoons water optional, for thickening
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides for additional flavor. Remove them from the skillet and place them directly into the slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Add the sliced mushrooms on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
- Optional: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl to create a slurry. Add this to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking, stirring gently to combine.
- Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs over mashed potatoes or noodles and enjoy!
