Ingredients

  • 400g (14 oz) condensed mushroom soup
  • 500ml (2 cups) beef stock
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix (40g / 1.4 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1kg (2.2 lbs) frozen beef meatballs
  • 400g (14 oz) egg noodles
  • 200ml (3/4 cup) sour cream

Slow Cooker Instructions

  1. Create the Flavorful Base: In your slow cooker, whisk together the mushroom soup, beef stock, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce until completely smooth. This combination creates a rich, deeply flavored sauce that will infuse the meatballs with incredible taste.
  2. Add the Meatballs: Gently add the frozen meatballs to the slow cooker, stirring to ensure they’re evenly coated in the sauce mixture. No need to thaw – the slow cooking process will take care of that!
  3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The meatballs will become incredibly tender and absorb all the delicious flavors of the sauce.
  4. Prepare the Noodles: About 20 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  5. Creamy Finish: Stir the sour cream through the meatballs until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. This final step adds a luxurious richness that takes the dish to the next level.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the creamy meatballs over the cooked noodles, or mix everything together for an easy, crowd-pleasing meal.
