Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs Dinner

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs Dinner.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious meatball journey, grab a medium-sized bowl and combine the ground beef, rolled oats, a beaten egg, minced garlic, allspice, ground ginger, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended—this should take about a minute.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to shape your mixture into meatballs; aim for about 2 tablespoons for each one, and you’ll end up with around 17 tasty meatballs.

4. Step 4

   Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

5. Step 5

   Once the butter is bubbling, gently add your meatballs to the skillet.

6. Step 6

   Sear them for about 4 to 6 minutes, turning them occasionally to get that beautiful golden-brown color.

7. Step 7

   After they’re nicely browned, reduce the heat to medium and let them cook for an additional 3 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once done, transfer the meatballs to your slow cooker, but don’t forget to keep that flavorful skillet grease for later! In the same skillet, turn the heat back up to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

9. Step 9

   Sprinkle in some flour and whisk it for about 30 seconds until it’s lightly golden.

10. Step 10

    Gradually pour in water, beef base, and steak sauce, making sure to scrape up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.

11. Step 11

    Bring this mixture to a boil, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, which should take about a minute.

12. Step 12

    Now, pour that rich sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.

13. Step 13

    Cover it up and let it cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 4 to 5 hours, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

14. Step 14

    When the cooking time is up, scoop out 1/4 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and transfer it to a bowl.

15. Step 15

    To prevent curdling, slowly stir in some yogurt until it’s well combined.

16. Step 16

    Add this creamy mixture back into the slow cooker and give it a taste, adjusting with a little extra salt and pepper if needed.

17. Step 17

    And there you have it—succulent meatballs in a savory sauce that’s perfect for any occasion.
