Ingredients You’ll Need
To prepare this delightful dish, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 pounds frozen fully cooked beef meatballs
- 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed beef gravy or brown gravy
- 2 cups beef broth
- 12 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles (ribbon-style)
Step-by-Step Directions
Add the Meatballs
Begin by placing the frozen beef meatballs at the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Spread them out into an even layer to ensure they cook uniformly.
Combine Gravy and Broth
Next, pour the condensed beef gravy over the meatballs, followed by the beef broth. Gently stir the mixture to coat the meatballs in the rich brown sauce while keeping them mostly in a single layer.
Cook the Meatballs
Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. The meatballs should be heated through, and the gravy will bubble around the edges when ready.
Check the Sauce Consistency
About 35 to 45 minutes before serving, stir the sauce and taste it for richness. If the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of hot water. Conversely, if it seems thin, leave the lid off for the first 10 minutes after adding the noodles to allow some steam to escape.
