I was sure to get a copy of the recipe before we left my brother’s house that weekend. Even prior to the week being up, my kids were asking me if I could make what their uncle had. I knew that was coming. I tossed it together just like he did and it was so simple! It was just as good as I remembered from his house too. This is definitely going to be a regular menu item at our house I can see.
Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
“…a tasty slow cooker meatball soup, packed with vegetables and homemade meatballs.”
If you want to save time you can use store-bought meatballs…but the flavor isn’t nearly as good as it is when you make them yourself. It’s worth the work.
Ingredients
For Soup
1 package dehydrated onion soup mix
6 cups hot water
1 can Campbell’s cream of celery soup
2 to 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 pound (or 1 can) green beans
1 can Hunt’s sliced tomatoes, or 1 medium sliced fresh tomato
1 cup Bisquick (or similar biscuit mix)
1 tbsp chopped parsley
For Meatballs
1 pound hamburger or ground beef
1 egg
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
Instructions
For Meatballs:
Mix ground beef, egg, chopped onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, salt and milk together.
Shape mixture into 1 to 1-1/2-inch balls.
Heat salad oil in a large skillet. Cook meatballs over medium heat until brown–about 20 minutes.
Drain off excess fat (save a little for the slow cooker, if you like).
For Soup:
Place cream of celery soup and dried onion soup mix in slow cooker.
Cover with about 1/2 of the hot water and stir until mixed, then add the remaining water.
Add carrots, green beans, and tomatoes & stir just until mixed.
Add meatballs, cover, and cook on low heat about 3 1/2 hours.
Turn slow cooker heat to high. In a small bowl, combine biscuit mix with parsley.
Stir in enough water (or milk) with fork until you have a stiff dough.
Drop dumpling mixture into slow cooker with a teaspoon.
Cover and cook on high for about 30 minutes.
