A comforting slow-cooked dish combining hearty meatballs, caramelized onions, and a rich, gooey cheese topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounce frozen homestyle beef meatballs
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10.5 ounce 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 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker gravy)
  • 1/4 cup water (if using cornstarch)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add the frozen meatballs to a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Top with the sliced onions and minced garlic.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the French onion soup, beef broth, balsamic vinegar (if using), thyme, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are well-coated.
  3. Cover your crockpot and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, stirring halfway through if possible.
  4. If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the crockpot and cook on HIGH for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the meatballs. Cover and let it melt for about 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, try adding a splash of red wine to the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
