Method
 

Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Don’t forget the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream for that creamy sauce!
Make the Meatballs
  1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. It’s okay if they’re not perfect—homemade is always best!
Brown the Meatballs (Optional)
  1. If you want a little extra flavor, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs for a few minutes. This step is optional but adds a nice touch!
Prepare the Crock Pot
  1. Spray your Crock Pot with non-stick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup. Place the meatballs in the bottom of the pot.
Mix the Sauce
  1. In a separate bowl, combine beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and a dollop of sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Pour the Sauce Over the Meatballs
  1. Gently pour the creamy sauce over the meatballs in the Crock Pot. Make sure they’re all coated in that delicious goodness!
Cook Low and Slow
  1. Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer, the better—let those flavors meld!
Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Once cooked, serve your Swedish meatballs over egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Dig in and enjoy the comfort!
