This spin on Salisbury steak is anything but old-fashioned. With help from the slow cooker, we transformed this comfort food with scratch-made meatballs and a savory onion gravy that perfectly pairs with mashed potatoes.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Dampen hands slightly when shaping these tender meatballs to help prevent sticking.
  • tip 2
    Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes really make these easy slow-cooker meatballs into a meal. We liked the creamy butter flavor with these meatballs, but the roasted garlic flavor would be great, too.
