Reynolds Kitchens® Tips
Reynolds Kitchens Tip
If you're using a 3-8 quart round or oval slow cooker, use the regular size Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner and the recipe below as-is. If you're using a 1-3 quart round or oval slow cooker, use the small size Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner and use half of each ingredient.

Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound lean ground pork
- 1/2 onion, grated or finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Stir together beef, pork, onion, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and egg in a large bowl just until combined—don’t overmix.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Shape meat into 1–1.5" balls and place 1" apart on baking sheet. (I get about 35 1.5" meatballs)
Step 4
Bake for 15–20 minutes, just until internal temperature reaches 160 F.
Step 5
Set aside to cool slightly. (*At this point, once cooled, you can freeze up to 3 months for a variety of uses).
Step 6
Place one Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner in a 2.5–4-quart slow cooker. Place meatballs in slow cooker.
Step 7
Stir together broth, half and half, corn starch, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, salt, thyme, pepper and nutmeg. Pour over meatballs in slow cooker.
Step 8
Cook on low until heated through and sauce has thickened—about 4–5 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
Step 9
Serve with sauce over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
