directions

  • In a medium sized saucepan, mix soup with milk.
  • (I use a whisk to get all lumps out.) Once that is creamy, add the frozen meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on low/medium until meatballs are heated through, scraping bottom of pot regularly to avoid burning.
  • Serve over cooked egg noodles.

  1. Are the quantities accurate? We made this per the recipe and holy cow it was soupy and way more food than the 4 servings it calls for

  1. Wow, what a great & simple recipe! I doubled the recipe and added one can of campbell's french onion soup and about 1 Tablespoon of worcestershire sauce. Just before serving I added 3 Tablespoons of flour mixed in 1/2 cup of water to thicken. So easy to make and my family LOVED it.
     
  2. This was so easy and quick. I did add some cream cheese and dill to the recipe (didn't have enough soup on hand), and a little worcestershire because I like it. Very good recipe. Thanks for posting it. We will use this one from now on.
     
  3. I really enjoyed this recipe, it was so easy to make, and my family went nuts over it. Even my three year old couldn't get enough of those meatballs. I added a can of mushrooms, and a sliced onion to it, and tried it on toast, and it was great that way too. I thank you for posting this recipe, I hope more people will try this simple, yet richly delicious recipe. sincerely, Kathleen Hurst
     
  4. No offense, but as is, this recipe needs some flavor! I used 3-10 1/2 oz cans of cream of mushroom soup; about 20 oz of milk (2% & I added to soup while in my kitchenaid mixer on 2, until my desired consistency, remembering that when heated, it will become more liquid.) One package of onion soup mix, 2 pinches of ground sage, a pinch of parsley, and a few twists of the pepper grinder & my pink salt grinder (more if you use regular sea salt; I never use regular table salt.). And of course some kind of seasoning with heat (paprika, ground red pepper, etc.) for my husband who is from Texas where everything packs a bit or more of heat..lol. Lastly, about a tsp of chopped garlic & a bay leaf just as the temperature starts to get going. If desired, we add mushrooms & a bit of grated Parmesan. Also. We do this in the crockpot over a few hours, adding ingredients based on there cook time; for example, mushrooms & cheese go in close to last as they don’t take much time, & meatballs last because they are already crisp from the oven & you don’t want them to get mushy from over cooking in the sauce. Good luck & happy eating ??

Tweaks

  1. We also added 2 pinches of sage & parsley, a few dashes of soy sauce, A-1, & Worcester sauce (suggested from another recipe), a packet of onion soup & few squeezes of Dijon mustard & sour cream instead of heavy cream. I frequently combine several recipes & suggestions until I get my own unique recipe for my taste, so I hope all the suggestions help you to find yours
     
  2. I once had a guy trade me 2 elk steaks for this recipe. I toss everything in the crockpot and add 1-2tsp of garlic salt, fresh ground pepper and I use heavy cream instead of the milk. Great for parties. I'm always asked to bring this along.
