- Pour the broth mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker.

Notes
For a lighter version, use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
Make ahead: Prepare the meatballs and gravy a day in advance and store in the fridge. Reheat in the slow cooker on low for a couple of hours.
Freeze the leftovers in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the slow cooker.
No cornstarch? Substitute with flour, whisked well into the beef broth to avoid lumps.
To thicken the gravy, mix additional cornstarch with water and stir into the gravy at the end of the cooking time.
