   • In a 2-quart saucepan, prepare the brown gravy according to the package directions. Typically, this involves mixing the gravy mix with 1 cup of water. Allow the gravy to thicken over medium heat.

2. Add Creaminess:

   • Once the gravy reaches your desired thickness, stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Blend the ingredients well until smooth and creamy. This combination adds a rich and savory flavor to the meatballs.

3. Combine Meatballs and Gravy:

   • Place the thawed or partially thawed meatballs in a crockpot or large skillet, depending on your preferred heating method. If using a skillet, you can directly add the meatballs to the gravy mixture.

4. Heat Through:

   • Pour the prepared gravy over the meatballs in the crockpot or skillet. Ensure that all the meatballs are coated evenly with the creamy gravy. If using a crockpot, set it to low heat and allow the meatballs to heat through slowly, absorbing all the flavors.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • These delectable meatballs can be served in various ways. They’re delicious served over rice, noodles, or creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or grated cheese for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
