Instructions

1. Add the frozen meatballs to the crockpot and spread them into an even layer.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, au jus gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.

3. Pour the gravy mixture over the meatballs and gently stir to coat them well.

4. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and tender.

5. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry.

6. Add the slurry to the crockpot during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking and stir gently to help thicken the gravy.

7. Once the gravy is rich and smooth, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Notes

Use homestyle or beef meatballs for the richest flavor in the gravy.

Stir once or twice during cooking if possible so the sauce stays evenly blended.

Add a splash of extra broth when reheating leftovers if the gravy becomes too thick.
