It really is the simple things, isn’t it? Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs is now one one of the most popular recipes on The Country Cook. Also, if this recipe tempts your tastebuds, you’re definitely gonna want to make my\nCrock Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs.\nMade it for dinner tonight – turned out perfect and SO good!! Thank you so much – even my picky eaters really loved it!\n– Theresa\nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\nWhat should I serve with Swedish Meatballs?\nI usually serve these meatballs with egg noodles. If I am making a full-on dinner, I’d serve it with some steamed green beans and my\nButter Swim Biscuits\n. And for dessert you gotta have my\nEasy Homemade Blueberry Cobbler\n.\nCan this recipe be doubled?\nYes. Just make sure you have a large enough slow cooker to fit the doubled ingredients. If I’m serving for a crowd, I will mix together cooked egg noodles with the meatballs and keep my crock pot on the ‘warm’ or ‘buffet’ setting. But when it’s just my family, everyone can serve themselves and grab as many meatballs and sauce as they like.\nIs this an authentic Swedish Meatball recipe?\nNo. The internet foodie world is quick to remind me of that fact since the day I posted this recipe but I’m never changing it – so there. Yes, I do know “real Swedish Meatballs are made from scratch with nutmeg” – etc. Move along – this recipe clearly isn’t for you.\nCan I just make my own meatballs?\nAbsolutely. If you have your own favorite Swedish meatball recipe then go for it. However, I would cook them almost completely before adding to the slow cooker or else the gravy in this will end up too oily from the grease that the meatballs release when cooking (unless you plan to use turkey instead of ground beef or a super lean ground beef.) You will probably just have to adjust cooking time to make sure your meatballs are cooked all the way through.\nWhat if I can’t find frozen Swedish Meatballs?\nJust use your favorite frozen meatball brand here. It doesn’t have to specifically be a Swedish-style meatball. They aren’t always easy to find but I’ve made this recipe with many different kinds of frozen meatballs and it all works great just don’t use Italian meatballs. Those flavors won’t work with these flavors. Try to look for a “Homestyle” meatball flavor.\nHow do I store leftovers?\nStore leftovers in the refrigerator (in an airtight lidded container) for up to 3 days. Just put it in a pot on the stove to reheat or in the microwave.\nThis dish can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to cool then put in a freezer safe container. If you do freeze, try to reheat slowly so the gravy doesn’t separate. I don’t think I would try freezing with the noodles if you made those and mixed it all together. The noodles will continue to absorb any liquid and get mushy.\nINGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)\ncream of mushroom soup\n– my family don’t really like mushrooms but you do not get any kind of mushroom flavor or from this and we all love it. Honestly, no one knows that it was used except me. However, having said that, you can substitute with other cream soups but you really should try it this way. Or perhaps try making a\nHomemade Cream of Mushroom Soup\n!\nbeef broth\n– I recommend a low or no sodium broth because most of the other ingredients have plenty of salt in them. If you have sodium issues, make sure to choose low or no sodium options where possible.\ndry onion soup mix\n(or make your own\nHomemade Dry Onion Soup mix\n) – this is going to add a lot of flavor but won’t make it taste super “onion-y”. If you want a stronger onion flavor, try sautéing up some sliced onions then add them to the pot.\nA1 steak sauce\n– this is my little secret ingredient. I think that is what really sets this recipe apart from others. It is not a strong overwhelming flavor. It just adds that background flavor that has everyone wondering what is added to this dish that they can’t quite put their finger on. You could substitute with a dash of Worcestershire sauce as well. Or if you just can’t possible stand the idea, just leave it out (but you’re really missing out on good stuff!)\nfrozen meatballs\n– I talk more in detail about these above in the FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions). But you do not need 2 pounds of meatballs if you want more sauce instead of meatballs. A one pound bag will feed four people with plenty of sauce.\nsour cream\n– This ingredient is always controversial because inevitably, someone’s hubby hates sour cream. You could substitute with plain Greek yogurt or a little bit of heavy cream. If you don’t like it creamy, just leave it out.\negg noodles\n(optional) – this is just for serving. You serve it however you like! Mashed potatoes are yummy too!\nHOW TO MAKE CROCK POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS:\nIn a 5-6 quart slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup with beef broth, onion soup mix and steak sauce. Stir well. Then add in frozen meatballs and stir. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 3-5 hours.\nWhen meatballs are ready, stir in sour cream. If you want to serve this with egg noodles, put a pot of water on the oven to boil for your egg noodles (make according to package directions.) Drain noodles well when done. Mix noodles and meatballs together.\nOr serve meatballs on top of noodles.\nCRAVING MORE RECIPES?\nOriginally published: May 2015\nUpdated & republished: April 2025\n▢\n10.75\nounce\ncan cream of mushroom soup\n(low sodium)\n▢\n14\nounce\ncan beef broth\n(low sodium)\n▢\n1\npacket dry onion soup mix\n▢\n2\nTablespoons\nA1 steak sauce\n▢\n2\npound\nbag frozen meatballs\n(see notes below)\n▢\n1\ncup\nsour cream\nFor serving:\n▢\n12\nounce\npackage egg noodles\nIn a 5-6 quart slow cooker, mix\n10.75 ounce can cream of mushroom soup\n(low sodium)\nwith\n14 ounce can beef broth\n(low sodium)\n,\n1 packet dry onion soup mix\nand\n2 Tablespoons A1 steak sauce\n.

You can mix them in with the mixture or put some on a plate and serve the meatballs and sauce on top. Use as little or as much as you like.\nIf you want more sauce instead of meatballs, just use a one pound (16 ounce) bag of meatballs instead of two bags – it should be enough meatballs to feed 4 people (depending on how many meatballs everyone wants to eat) with plenty of sauce. It’s hard to give an exact number of meatballs per person because although the bag may come in 16 ounces, the size of the meatballs can vary by brand. \nCourse:\nMain Course\nCuisine:\nAmerican\nCalories:\n622\nkcal\n|\nCarbohydrates:\n27\ng\n|\nProtein:\n31\ng\n|\nFat:\n42\ng\n|\nSodium:\n829\nmg\n|\nFiber:\n1\ng\n|\nSugar:\n3\ng\n“The Country Cook” is not a dietician or nutritionist, and any nutritional information shared is an estimate.

So rich and creamy. I always have homestyle frozen meatballs from one of the big box stores on hand and I make lots of different kinds of meals with them.

I needed to use up some potatoes so I served the meatballs and gravy over garlic mashed potatoes with steakhouse style green beans on the side.

It really is the simple things, isn’t it? Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs is now one one of the most popular recipes on The Country Cook. Also, if this recipe tempts your tastebuds, you’re definitely gonna want to make my [Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs.](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/crock-pot-sweet-sour-meatballs\/)\n\n![Slow Cooker Meatballs and Gravy on top of egg noodles served with green beans and a roll](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Slow-Cooker-Meatballs-and-Gravy.jpg)\n\n![](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/people.png)\n\n**Made it for dinner tonight – turned out perfect and SO good!! Thank you so much – even my picky eaters really loved it\\! – Theresa**\n## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\n**What should I serve with Swedish Meatballs?**\n\nI usually serve these meatballs with egg noodles. If I am making a full-on dinner, I’d serve it with some steamed green beans and my [Butter Swim Biscuits](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/butter-dip-biscuits\/). And for dessert you gotta have my [Easy Homemade Blueberry Cobbler](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/easy-blueberry-cobbler\/).\n\n**Can this recipe be doubled?**\n\nYes. Just make sure you have a large enough slow cooker to fit the doubled ingredients. If I’m serving for a crowd, I will mix together cooked egg noodles with the meatballs and keep my crock pot on the ‘warm’ or ‘buffet’ setting. But when it’s just my family, everyone can serve themselves and grab as many meatballs and sauce as they like.\n\n**Is this an authentic Swedish Meatball recipe?**\n\nNo. The internet foodie world is quick to remind me of that fact since the day I posted this recipe but I’m never changing it – so there. Yes, I do know “real Swedish Meatballs are made from scratch with nutmeg” – etc. Move along – this recipe clearly isn’t for you.\n\n**Can I just make my own meatballs?**\n\nAbsolutely. If you have your own favorite Swedish meatball recipe then go for it. However, I would cook them almost completely before adding to the slow cooker or else the gravy in this will end up too oily from the grease that the meatballs release when cooking (unless you plan to use turkey instead of ground beef or a super lean ground beef.) You will probably just have to adjust cooking time to make sure your meatballs are cooked all the way through.\n\n**What if I can’t find frozen Swedish Meatballs?**\n\nJust use your favorite frozen meatball brand here. It doesn’t have to specifically be a Swedish-style meatball. They aren’t always easy to find but I’ve made this recipe with many different kinds of frozen meatballs and it all works great just don’t use Italian meatballs. Those flavors won’t work with these flavors. Try to look for a “Homestyle” meatball flavor.\n\n**How do I store leftovers?**\n\nStore leftovers in the refrigerator (in an airtight lidded container) for up to 3 days. Just put it in a pot on the stove to reheat or in the microwave.   \nThis dish can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to cool then put in a freezer safe container. If you do freeze, try to reheat slowly so the gravy doesn’t separate. I don’t think I would try freezing with the noodles if you made those and mixed it all together. The noodles will continue to absorb any liquid and get mushy.\n\n[![Swedish Meatballs with cooked egg noodles combined and shown in an oval slow cooker](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Crock-Pot-Swedish-Meatballs-1.jpg)](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Crock-Pot-Swedish-Meatballs-1.jpg)\n\n### INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)\n- **cream of mushroom soup** – my family don’t really like mushrooms but you do not get any kind of mushroom flavor or from this and we all love it. Honestly, no one knows that it was used except me. However, having said that, you can substitute with other cream soups but you really should try it this way. Or perhaps try making a [Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/homemade-cream-of-mushroom-soup\/)\\!\n- **beef broth** – I recommend a low or no sodium broth because most of the other ingredients have plenty of salt in them. If you have sodium issues, make sure to choose low or no sodium options where possible.\n- **dry onion soup mix** (or make your own [Homemade Dry Onion Soup mix](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/homemade-dry-onion-soup-mix\/)) – this is going to add a lot of flavor but won’t make it taste super “onion-y”. If you want a stronger onion flavor, try sautéing up some sliced onions then add them to the pot.\n- **A1 steak sauce** – this is my little secret ingredient. I think that is what really sets this recipe apart from others. It is not a strong overwhelming flavor. It just adds that background flavor that has everyone wondering what is added to this dish that they can’t quite put their finger on. You could substitute with a dash of Worcestershire sauce as well. Or if you just can’t possible stand the idea, just leave it out (but you’re really missing out on good stuff!)\n- **frozen meatballs** – I talk more in detail about these above in the FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions). But you do not need 2 pounds of meatballs if you want more sauce instead of meatballs. A one pound bag will feed four people with plenty of sauce.\n- **sour cream** – This ingredient is always controversial because inevitably, someone’s hubby hates sour cream. You could substitute with plain Greek yogurt or a little bit of heavy cream. If you don’t like it creamy, just leave it out.\n- **egg noodles** (optional) – this is just for serving. You serve it however you like! Mashed potatoes are yummy too\\!\n\n![frozen meatballs, beef broth, cream of mushroom, onion soup mix, A1 sauce, egg noodles](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_8230-1.jpg)\n\n## HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS:\nIn a 5-6 quart slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup with beef broth, onion soup mix and steak sauce.

You can mix them in with the mixture or put some on a plate and serve the meatballs and sauce on top. Use as little or as much as you like.\n- If you want more sauce instead of meatballs, just use a one pound (16 ounce) bag of meatballs instead of two bags – it should be enough meatballs to feed 4 people (depending on how many meatballs everyone wants to eat) with plenty of sauce. It’s hard to give an exact number of meatballs per person because although the bag may come in 16 ounces, the size of the meatballs can vary by brand.\n\nCourse: Main Course\n\nCuisine: American\n\nCalories: 622kcal \\| Carbohydrates: 27g \\| Protein: 31g \\| Fat: 42g \\| Sodium: 829mg \\| Fiber: 1g \\| Sugar: 3g\n\n“The Country Cook” is not a dietician or nutritionist, and any nutritional information shared is an estimate.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) cream of mushroom soup – my family don’t really like mushrooms but you do not get any kind of mushroom flavor or from this and we all love it. Honestly, no one knows that it was used except me. However, having said that, you can substitute with other cream soups but you really should try it this way. Or perhaps try making a Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup ! beef broth – I recommend a low or no sodium broth because most of the other ingredients have plenty of salt in them. If you have sodium issues, make sure to choose low or no sodium options where possible. dry onion soup mix (or make your own Homemade Dry Onion Soup mix ) – this is going to add a lot of flavor but won’t make it taste super “onion-y”. If you want a stronger onion flavor, try sautéing up some sliced onions then add them to the pot. A1 steak sauce – this is my little secret ingredient. I think that is what really sets this recipe apart from others. It is not a strong overwhelming flavor. It just adds that background flavor that has everyone wondering what is added to this dish that they can’t quite put their finger on. You could substitute with a dash of Worcestershire sauce as well. Or if you just can’t possible stand the idea, just leave it out (but you’re really missing out on good stuff!) frozen meatballs – I talk more in detail about these above in the FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions). But you do not need 2 pounds of meatballs if you want more sauce instead of meatballs. A one pound bag will feed four people with plenty of sauce. sour cream – This ingredient is always controversial because inevitably, someone’s hubby hates sour cream. You could substitute with plain Greek yogurt or a little bit of heavy cream. If you don’t like it creamy, just leave it out. egg noodles (optional) – this is just for serving. You serve it however you like! Mashed potatoes are yummy too! HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS: In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup with beef broth, onion soup mix and steak sauce. Stir well. Then add in frozen meatballs and stir. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 3-5 hours. When meatballs are ready, stir in sour cream. If you want to serve this with egg noodles, put a pot of water on the oven to boil for your egg noodles (make according to package directions.) Drain noodles well when done. Mix noodles and meatballs together. Or serve meatballs on top of noodles. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Whisk together well. Then add in 2 pound bag frozen meatballs and stir. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 3-5 hours. If serving with egg noodles: just before meatballs are done, put a pot of water on the oven to boil for your 12 ounce package egg noodles (make according to package directions.) Drain noodles well when done. After meatballs have finished cooking, stir in 1 cup sour cream . Mix noodles and meatballs together or serve meatballs on top of noodles. Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. The noodles are just for serving. You can mix them in with the mixture or put some on a plate and serve the meatballs and sauce on top. Use as little or as much as you like. If you want more sauce instead of meatballs, just use a one pound (16 ounce) bag of meatballs instead of two bags – it should be enough meatballs to feed 4 people (depending on how many meatballs everyone wants to eat) with plenty of sauce. It’s hard to give an exact number of meatballs per person because although the bag may come in 16 ounces, the size of the meatballs can vary by brand.

Thank you so much – even my picky eaters really loved it\! – Theresa ## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What should I serve with Swedish Meatballs? I usually serve these meatballs with egg noodles. If I am making a full-on dinner, I’d serve it with some steamed green beans and my [Butter Swim Biscuits](https://www.thecountrycook.net/butter-dip-biscuits/). And for dessert you gotta have my [Easy Homemade Blueberry Cobbler](https://www.thecountrycook.net/easy-blueberry-cobbler/). Can this recipe be doubled? Yes. Just make sure you have a large enough slow cooker to fit the doubled ingredients. If I’m serving for a crowd, I will mix together cooked egg noodles with the meatballs and keep my crock pot on the ‘warm’ or ‘buffet’ setting. But when it’s just my family, everyone can serve themselves and grab as many meatballs and sauce as they like. Is this an authentic Swedish Meatball recipe? No. The internet foodie world is quick to remind me of that fact since the day I posted this recipe but I’m never changing it – so there. Yes, I do know “real Swedish Meatballs are made from scratch with nutmeg” – etc. Move along – this recipe clearly isn’t for you. Can I just make my own meatballs? Absolutely. If you have your own favorite Swedish meatball recipe then go for it. However, I would cook them almost completely before adding to the slow cooker or else the gravy in this will end up too oily from the grease that the meatballs release when cooking (unless you plan to use turkey instead of ground beef or a super lean ground beef.) You will probably just have to adjust cooking time to make sure your meatballs are cooked all the way through. What if I can’t find frozen Swedish Meatballs? Just use your favorite frozen meatball brand here. It doesn’t have to specifically be a Swedish-style meatball. They aren’t always easy to find but I’ve made this recipe with many different kinds of frozen meatballs and it all works great just don’t use Italian meatballs. Those flavors won’t work with these flavors. Try to look for a “Homestyle” meatball flavor. How do I store leftovers? Store leftovers in the refrigerator (in an airtight lidded container) for up to 3 days. Just put it in a pot on the stove to reheat or in the microwave. This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to cool then put in a freezer safe container. If you do freeze, try to reheat slowly so the gravy doesn’t separate. I don’t think I would try freezing with the noodles if you made those and mixed it all together. The noodles will continue to absorb any liquid and get mushy.

It can be used but I haven’t tested it out myself with the heavy cream. I just say start with a little (maybe 1/4 cup – because heavy cream is thinner in texture than sour cream) and add more to get it to the taste and consistency you like.

It’s a family fave. My favorite way to tweak the recipe is I add a package of halved portobello mushrooms, especially when I only have a smaller bag of meatballs, in with everything and sometimes if I don’t have the onion soup mix on hand, I add caramelized onions instead or let the onions cook in butter by themselves before adding everything else.

So rich and creamy. I always have homestyle frozen meatballs from one of the big box stores on hand and I make lots of different kinds of meals with them. This Swedish meatball entree was one of my absolute favorites and will be made again and again! I needed to use up some potatoes so I served the meatballs and gravy over garlic mashed potatoes with steakhouse style green beans on the side. Don’t leave out the steak sauce if you make these because it truly is the secret ingredient. All of the recipes I’ve made of Brandie’s have been a hit.

I use frozen meatballs and that should be your first clue this is not even close to authentic & it uses steak sauce so not sure why you’d look for nutmeg to make it somehow more authentic. Also, I address the nutmeg above in the post as well. Probably not the recipe for you if you’re expecting authenticity and nutmeg, ha!

Readable Markdown	Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs is an easy recipe made with frozen meatballs, sour cream, steak sauce, cream of mushroom and seasonings. ## A SIMPLE, FLAVORFUL SWEDISH MEATBALL RECIPE After I shared the [Crock Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs](https://www.thecountrycook.net/crock-pot-spaghetti-and-meatballs-all-in-one/) recipe a couple of weeks ago, I got a bunch of emails from folks asking for more recipes like that one. It really is the simple things, isn’t it? Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs is now one one of the most popular recipes on The Country Cook. Also, if this recipe tempts your tastebuds, you’re definitely gonna want to make my [Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs.](https://www.thecountrycook.net/crock-pot-sweet-sour-meatballs/) ![Slow Cooker Meatballs and Gravy on top of egg noodles served with green beans and a roll](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Slow-Cooker-Meatballs-and-Gravy.jpg) ![](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/people.png) Made it for dinner tonight – turned out perfect and SO good!! Thank you so much – even my picky eaters really loved it\! – Theresa ## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What should I serve with Swedish Meatballs? I usually serve these meatballs with egg noodles. If I am making a full-on dinner, I’d serve it with some steamed green beans and my [Butter Swim Biscuits](https://www.thecountrycook.net/butter-dip-biscuits/). And for dessert you gotta have my [Easy Homemade Blueberry Cobbler](https://www.thecountrycook.net/easy-blueberry-cobbler/). Can this recipe be doubled? Yes. Just make sure you have a large enough slow cooker to fit the doubled ingredients. If I’m serving for a crowd, I will mix together cooked egg noodles with the meatballs and keep my crock pot on the ‘warm’ or ‘buffet’ setting. But when it’s just my family, everyone can serve themselves and grab as many meatballs and sauce as they like. Is this an authentic Swedish Meatball recipe? No. The internet foodie world is quick to remind me of that fact since the day I posted this recipe but I’m never changing it – so there. Yes, I do know “real Swedish Meatballs are made from scratch with nutmeg” – etc. Move along – this recipe clearly isn’t for you. Can I just make my own meatballs? Absolutely. If you have your own favorite Swedish meatball recipe then go for it. However, I would cook them almost completely before adding to the slow cooker or else the gravy in this will end up too oily from the grease that the meatballs release when cooking (unless you plan to use turkey instead of ground beef or a super lean ground beef.) You will probably just have to adjust cooking time to make sure your meatballs are cooked all the way through. What if I can’t find frozen Swedish Meatballs? Just use your favorite frozen meatball brand here. It doesn’t have to specifically be a Swedish-style meatball. They aren’t always easy to find but I’ve made this recipe with many different kinds of frozen meatballs and it all works great just don’t use Italian meatballs. Those flavors won’t work with these flavors. Try to look for a “Homestyle” meatball flavor. How do I store leftovers? Store leftovers in the refrigerator (in an airtight lidded container) for up to 3 days. Just put it in a pot on the stove to reheat or in the microwave. This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to cool then put in a freezer safe container. If you do freeze, try to reheat slowly so the gravy doesn’t separate. I don’t think I would try freezing with the noodles if you made those and mixed it all together. The noodles will continue to absorb any liquid and get mushy.

Honestly, no one knows that it was used except me. However, having said that, you can substitute with other cream soups but you really should try it this way. Or perhaps try making a [Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup](https://www.thecountrycook.net/homemade-cream-of-mushroom-soup/)\! - beef broth – I recommend a low or no sodium broth because most of the other ingredients have plenty of salt in them. If you have sodium issues, make sure to choose low or no sodium options where possible. - dry onion soup mix (or make your own [Homemade Dry Onion Soup mix](https://www.thecountrycook.net/homemade-dry-onion-soup-mix/)) – this is going to add a lot of flavor but won’t make it taste super “onion-y”. If you want a stronger onion flavor, try sautéing up some sliced onions then add them to the pot. - A1 steak sauce – this is my little secret ingredient. I think that is what really sets this recipe apart from others. It is not a strong overwhelming flavor. It just adds that background flavor that has everyone wondering what is added to this dish that they can’t quite put their finger on. You could substitute with a dash of Worcestershire sauce as well. Or if you just can’t possible stand the idea, just leave it out (but you’re really missing out on good stuff!) - frozen meatballs – I talk more in detail about these above in the FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions). But you do not need 2 pounds of meatballs if you want more sauce instead of meatballs. A one pound bag will feed four people with plenty of sauce. - sour cream – This ingredient is always controversial because inevitably, someone’s hubby hates sour cream. You could substitute with plain Greek yogurt or a little bit of heavy cream. If you don’t like it creamy, just leave it out. - egg noodles (optional) – this is just for serving. You serve it however you like! Mashed potatoes are yummy too\! ![frozen meatballs, beef broth, cream of mushroom, onion soup mix, A1 sauce, egg noodles](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_8230-1.jpg) ## HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS: In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup with beef broth, onion soup mix and steak sauce.

You can mix them in with the mixture or put some on a plate and serve the meatballs and sauce on top. Use as little or as much as you like. - If you want more sauce instead of meatballs, just use a one pound (16 ounce) bag of meatballs instead of two bags – it should be enough meatballs to feed 4 people (depending on how many meatballs everyone wants to eat) with plenty of sauce. It’s hard to give an exact number of meatballs per person because although the bag may come in 16 ounces, the size of the meatballs can vary by brand.
