Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Place the meatballs into your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme. Pour this mixture over the meatballs.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and tender. For a thicker gravy, remove the meatballs once cooked, stir in cornstarch dissolved in water, and cook on high until thickened.
- Return the meatballs to the slow cooker, coat them with the gravy, and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Use ground beef with some fat content for juicy meatballs.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding onion powder or paprika for extra flavor.
- For richer gravy, add a splash of red wine or a dollop of Dijon mustard during simmering.
- Use a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to chop herbs and vegetables quickly for extra flavor.
