Description
Delight in the savory goodness of Crockpot French Onion Meatballs, a comforting dish perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (can substitute with ground turkey or chicken)
- 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs (regular breadcrumbs can be used if gluten isn’t a concern)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (adjust for added richness if desired)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder (can substitute with fresh garlic)
- 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Pepper (or crushed red pepper flakes for spice)
- 2 cups Beef Broth (opt for low-sodium broth)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper using a fork or your hands until just mixed. Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
- With your hands, gently roll the beef mixture into meatballs, aiming for sizes around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the meatballs are formed, carefully place them in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
- Pour the beef broth slowly over the arranged meatballs, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat for 6 hours. Ensure meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the lid and serve the meatballs warm with some broth over the top.
