Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen fully-cooked meatballs
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually add the beef broth to the roux, whisking to combine until smooth. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Place the frozen meatballs into a 6-quart crock pot (slow cooker) and pour the prepared sauce evenly over the meatballs.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is thickened and creamy.
Stir the meatballs gently to coat them evenly with the sauce before serving. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice, and enjoy!
