Equipment

  • My Favorite Slow-Cooker
  • Slow-Cooker Liners

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium yellow onions sliced
  • 26 ounces frozen meatballs
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 ounce brown gravy mix package
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1.5 cups gruyere cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Place the sliced onions in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot. Then, pour frozen meatballs over the top.
  • Add beef broth, gravy mix, garlic, black pepper, dried thyme, and white wine vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined and pour over meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2½-3½ hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  • In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together. Pour over the meatballs and mix until well combined. Then, top with gruyere cheese and cook for ten minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve over rice or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!

Notes

To avoid drying them out: Use a programmable slow cooker that will switch to the warm setting after the full cooking time has gone by. If the sauce isn't thick enough, add more cornstarch. Storing leftovers: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
