For the Meatballs:

½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
For the Gravy:
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
For Serving:
12 oz egg noodles
2 tbsp butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
👩🍳 Directions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix gently until combined.
Shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs and place them in the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Pour the gravy mixture over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the meatballs are tender and fully cooked.
About 15 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter.
Serve the meatballs and rich gravy generously over the buttery noodles.
Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Tips
For extra richness, stir ½ cup sour cream into the gravy before serving.
Add sliced mushrooms or carrots to the slow cooker for additional flavor.
Leftovers taste even better the next day and reheat beautifully.
