INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound frozen meatballs
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon brown gravy mix
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the meatballs in a big skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat until they are thoroughly heated.
- While whisking, gradually add the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy packet, galic powder, water, and beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until heated through and thickened.
- Turn the heat down to low and cover. Add the evaporated milk and stir often until the gravy thickens and the meatballs achieve an internal temperature of 165°F on a meat thermometer. Then cook for 4–5 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
- Serve the meatballs with egg noodles and mashed potatoes once they are cooked through and garnished with fresh parsley.
NOTES
- If desired, heavy cream can be substituted for the cream of mushroom soup.
- It is possible to prepare the meatballs in advance (cook them thoroughly) and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until they are needed.
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can store leftovers in the freezer for up to a month.
- Continue heating the sauce until it thickens if it isn't as thick as you would like after ten minutes. Additionally, you might add more beef stock if you truly want a thinner sauce.
- The meatballs can be warmed thoroughly by gently heating them in the gravy over low heat on the stovetop or by placing them in an oven set to 350°F for approximately 15 minutes.
