Get My Meal Plans NOW!Do these meatballs freeze well?
If you are lucky enough to have any leftover meatballs, they freeze well. Just place them in an airtight container and stick them in the fridge.
When ready to eat, just thaw and reheat. They reheat well in a microwave oven.
We don’t freeze the mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower that we serve these meatballs over. You can make a fresh mash for your meatballs.
How to make salisbury steak meatballs:
- In a mixing bowl add 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms, 1/2 pound of hamburger, 1/2 pound ground turkey, chopped onion, tomato paste, egg, ground oatmeal, salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 cup beef broth.
- Mix until well combined. We find that using our hands works best, especially when forming the meatballs.
- Shape meat mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, remaining beef broth, remaining minced onions, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together and set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet and brown meatballs on all sides. They don’t need to cook through. Just brown the outside edge.
- Place meatballs in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with sliced mushrooms.
- Pour sauce over all.
- Cook on low for about 6 hours. It will smell amazing!
- You can serve these meatballs on their own, or you can serve them over mashed potatoes. To make it a healthy dish, we serve them over mashed cauliflower. Our kids had no idea it was mashed cauliflower. WIN!
