Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 32 ounces frozen meatballs
Sauce
- 2 cans (21 ounces each) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Optional: 1 packet onion soup mix
- Optional: splash of A1 sauce
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Load the slow cooker: In your slow cooker, combine the cream of mushroom soup, beef stock, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk these ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Add the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker and stir gently to coat all the meatballs evenly with the sauce.
- Let it cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 5 hours. The meatballs should be heated through, and the sauce should be bubbling and thickened.
- Finish with sour cream: Approximately 20 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the sour cream. Mix well and allow it to warm through and melt into the sauce, creating a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the Swedish meatballs hot, spooning them over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes as preferred. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- For added flavor, include the optional onion soup mix, a splash of A1 sauce, and a pinch of nutmeg when mixing the sauce ingredients.
- You can use fresh meatballs if preferred, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
- This dish pairs excellently with buttered egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave or on the stovetop.
