Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 4 hrs (on low) | Total Time: 4 hrs 5 min
Ingredients:
- 1 bag frozen meatballs (approx. 25 oz)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered onion
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
- 2 packets brown gravy mix
- 2 cups water
- Optional: chopped parsley (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Mix the Gravy Base:
In a bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, water, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth. This creates a rich, flavorful sauce that tastes homemade! - Layer the Ingredients:
Place the frozen meatballs into your slow cooker. Pour the sliced mushrooms evenly over the top. Then, pour the gravy mixture over everything. - Slow Cook to Perfection:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the meatballs are hot and the gravy has thickened slightly. - Stir & Serve:
Gently stir the mixture before serving. Spoon the meatballs and mushroom gravy over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or buttery noodles for a complete, comforting meal. - Garnish (Optional):
Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh, colorful finish!
Pro Tips:
- Gravy Too Thick? Add a splash of beef broth or water and stir before serving.
- No Mushrooms? Swap with sliced onions or leave them out entirely!
- Meal Prep Friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days—perfect for easy lunches.
