Crockpot Swedish Meatballs

Recipe from Julie’sEats&Treats.com

2 1/2 lbs frozen meatballs
10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup
10.75 oz can golden mushroom soup
14 oz can beef broth
.87 oz envelope brown gravy mix
1/2 c. water

Whisk everything except meatballs together.
Place Meatballs in Crock Pot. Pour mixture over meatballs.
Cook on low for 6 hours. Serve over egg noodles

If you would like a thicker, creamier sauce add 1 c. sour cream at the end of cooking time and stir to combine.
Frozen meatballs have already been cooked before they are frozen, so there's no reason to brown them before putting them in the slow cooker. If you make homemade meatballs it is a good idea to brown them first before placing them in the slow cooker or they tend to fall apart.

Two family-favourite dishes come together to make one extra-special entrée that can simmer away for a fuss-free dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb 454 g lean ground beef
1/3 cup 80 mL onion
3 garlic
1 tsp 5 mL paprika
1/2 tsp 3 mL salt and pepper
1 can CAMPBELL’S® Condensed Low Fat Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 1/4 cups 310 mL CAMPBELL’S® Ready to Use 30% Less Sodium Beef Broth
1 tbsp 15 mL Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup 60 mL all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 125 mL sour cream
1/3 cup 80 mL chives
