Salisbury Steak Meatballs

These slow cooker meatballs taste like the best salisbury steak ever - no tv dinner salisbury here!

I don't make a lot of salisbury steak because I was basically traumatized by the school lunch salisbury steak and the tv dinner salisbury steak. Neither are good. Neither are even the least bit palatable. I have made homemade salisbury steak and really enjoyed it, so I was happy to try a version of it as meatballs. I grew up eating a lot of dishes with meatballs. I loved when my mom made scalloped potatoes with meatballs instead of ham. This recipe had me expecting very similar vibes to that and I was right. I love the gravy and onion bits with the meatballs

Recipe from Skinny Taste

This Salisbury Steak recipe from Family Feast looks so mouthwateringly fantastic. It uses a mix of three types of meat. Meatballs seemed time-consuming to me when I was a kid, but they really can be made in under 30 minutes if you bake them (including prep time) and that's why I love these Mediterranean Meatball Gyro Sandwiches. Plus the tomato cucumber salsa and homemade tzatziki sure don't hurt at all.
