Slow Cooker French Onion Meatballs
Everything you love about classic French onion dip, combined with meatballs and made so easily in the slow cooker!
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 636kcal
Ingredients
- 26 oz bag frozen beef meatballs
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed French onion soup we like Campbells brand
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese we prefer to shred our own (better melt-ability)
Instructions
Prepare
- Add frozen meatballs to the insert of your slow cooker.
Add onion and soups
- To the slow cooker, add the sliced onion and both cans of french onion soup.
- Stir to combine.
Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 - 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1 - 2 hours. While meatballs are cooking, I like to stir them every so often to make sure the sauce isn't burning.
Add cheese
- The last 15-30 minutes before serving, sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Return the lid back to the slow cooker and continue to cook, covered, until cheese is melted.
Serve
- Serve hot, over mashed potatoes, toasted slices of french bread, or rice.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves 4, but please feel free to divide it into as many servings as you'd like.
- This recipe works with a bag of frozen meatballs that range from 26-32 oz.
- I haven't tested using any other types of french onion soup (non condensed, packets of onion soup, etc), so I can't say how well it would work. If you do some experimenting, I'd love to know how it goes!
