Savory meatballs enveloped in a velvety French onion gravy, topped with melted cheese, all cooked effortlessly in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounces frozen homestyle beef meatballs
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10.5 ounces condensed French onion soup
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thicker gravy)
  • 1/4 cup water (if using cornstarch)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the frozen meatballs in a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Layer the sliced onions and minced garlic over the meatballs, ensuring every bite gets that delicious flavor.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the French onion soup, low-sodium beef broth, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, and black pepper.
  4. Pour this sauce over the meatballs and onions, making sure everything is coated well.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or opt for HIGH and cook for 2 to 3 hours.
  6. If possible, give it a stir halfway through to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
  7. If you’re looking for a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry.
  8. Stir this into the crockpot and let it cook on HIGH for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top and let it melt for about 5 minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.
