Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

  • Condensed soup– 1 10.75 ounce can of cream of mushroom soup. You could substitute for cream of celery but the mushroom soup would give you the most traditional result. Use low sodium if you can.
  • Beef broth– Low sodium
  • Onion soup mix– A 2 ounce package of dry onion soup mix
  • Steak sauce– Like A1
  • Meatballs– Frozen homestyle beef meatballs.
  • Sour cream– Full fat will give you the best results.
  • Slurry ingredients– Cornstarch and water
  • Egg noodles– For serving

How to Make

These slow cooker Swedish meatballs are so easy to make!

To do it whisk the soup, broth, onion mix, and steak sauce together in the bowl of your slow cooker to evenly combine.

Stir in the meatballs until they are evenly coated in the sauce mixture.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, or HIGH for 2-3.

Stir the meatballs with the sauce, then remove 1/2 cup of hot liquid from the slow cooker.

Pour into a bowl with the measured sour cream and quickly whisk together to combine so it doesn’t curdle.

Stir the tempered sour cream into the slow cooker until it’s evenly incorporated.

Whisk together the cornstarch and water until it is evenly combined into a slurry.

Then stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker.

Turn off the slow cooker and let the mixture rest for 30 minutes while the sauce thickens.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Swedish meatballs are delicious served over egg noodles or a heap of fluffy mashed potatoes.

You can also serve them as is with toothpicks as an appetizer.

Tips and Tricks

  • Onion soup mix is very salty, to prevent the dish from being too salty I recommend using low sodium mushroom soup and low sodium beef broth.
  • Be sure to temper the sour cream before adding it to the meatballs otherwise it will curdle.
  • If the sauce thickens too much in leftovers, you can stir in a little beef broth while you are reheating it.
