French onion soup is one of my favorite dishes of all time! It’s so comforting yet full of intense flavor. I wanted to create more of a party appetizer using the flavors of this timeless soup. Which brought me to the idea to make Crock-Pot French onion meatballs. I used my Crock-Pot 7 QT Slow Cooker for this recipe and it sure did get the job done! Slow-cooker recipes are a life saver sometimes.

I used Holland House sherry cooking wine and added the perfect flavor to this dish! I used a little while caramelizing the onions. As well as in in the broth!

Sherry Cooking Wine

This recipe is so easy. You just caramelize the onions then throw everything in the Crock-Pot! It calls for frozen meatballs. I used turkey (from Trader Joe’s) but you can use beef if you prefer that. You can also make your own homemade meatballs. Homemade chicken meatballs would be great too. I wanted to make this recipe super approaching which is why I went the pre-made/frozen method! We could all use an easy recipe sometimes.

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

Frozen meatballs, garlic, white onions, butter, beef broth, sherry, fresh thyme, and shredded gruyere cheese.

For the cheese I used a blend of shredded gruyere and swiss and it worked well! Just plain gruyere will also be good.

This recipe is great for a party appetizer or serve it for dinner with some rice and vegetables! Either way it’s so satisfying 🙂
