Ingredients

48 Ounces Meatballs frozen or homemade
1 Cup Heavy Cream
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Cups Water
2 Teaspoons Beef Bouillon

Instructions

If using the frozen meatballs, you would add them to a prepared 9 X 13 baking dish, large skillet, or slow cooker. I used 48 ounces of frozen meatballs. Then continue onto the gravy.
48 Ounces Meatballs
In a small bowl, whisk the heavy cream and the corn starch, set aside.
1 Cup Heavy Cream, 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
In a medium saucepan, heat the water and beef bouillon to boiling. Pro Tip. If you have homemade beef broth, you can use that in place of the water and beef bouillon. Slowly add the cream and cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
2 Cups Water, 2 Teaspoons Beef Bouillon
Once combined, it is ready for the meatballs.
If you have made your homemade meatballs in the skillet, add the gravy and cook until thickened and bubbly. Just a few minutes.
Making the meatballs in a slow cooker using frozen meatballs, add the meatballs and gravy to the skillet and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3 hours until hot and bubbly. If using homemade meatballs that are already warm, cook on high for 1 hour and low for 2 hours.
If baking the meatballs in the oven using frozen cook for 45 minutes in an oven that has been pre-heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes

Make Ahead Recipe

This is a great dish to make ahead of time. Once cooked, just cool to room temperature, place meatballs and gravy in an airtight container and refrigerate.

It will last in the refrigerator up to 5 days. That way, you can make this on the weekend. During the week, just come home and make the sides, reheat the meatballs and gravy and serve. It will just take minutes.

Freeze these little gems too. They will freeze well up to 4 months. When ready to serve, just thaw and reheat.
