Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. This recipe calls for ground beef and pork, but you can also use ground lamb, turkey, or chicken. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a large enough slow cooker. You want the meatballs to be able to cook in a single layer. If you use a too-small slow cooker, the meatballs will be crowded and won't cook evenly.
  • Don't add the bread crumbs to the meatball mixture until just before cooking. This will help prevent the meatballs from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality French onion soup mix. The French onion soup mix is what gives these meatballs their flavor. Make sure to use a brand that you trust.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.
