Ingredients
4 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ to ¾ teaspoon black pepper
22 ounces frozen Swedish meatballs
2 cups sour cream

Directions
Add the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
Whisk until the ingredients are combined.
Add the frozen Swedish meatballs and stir gently to coat them in the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours.
Once the meatballs are heated through, add the sour cream and stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Cover and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce is creamy and heated through.

Tips
Add the sour cream after the meatballs are fully heated to keep the sauce smooth and creamy.
If the sauce becomes thicker than desired, stir in a splash of beef broth.
Egg noodles are traditional, but mashed potatoes or rice work beautifully as well.
Fresh parsley adds a nice pop of color and freshness.
Leftovers reheat wonderfully and make an excellent next-day lunch.
