1-Getting started with this Salisbury meatballs recipe is a breeze, and it all begins with a few simple steps in your slow cooker. First, spray the slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray to keep everything from sticking. This little trick makes cleanup easier and ensures your meatballs come out perfectly.

2-Next, place the frozen meatballs directly into the slow cooker without thawing them it’s that straightforward! In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of reduced-sodium beef broth, 1 packet of brown gravy mix, 1 packet of onion soup mix, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce until everything is well combined. Pour this mixture over the meatballs and stir gently to coat them evenly.

3-Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on low heat for 5 to 6 hours. Once that time is up, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry, then stir it in and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the gravy thickens. Finally, serve your Salisbury meatballs over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or cooked rice, and add a sprinkle of chopped parsley if you want a fresh touch.
