And we're going to straighten them out one by one."Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) fired back at Trump's message on X. "To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents 'enemies' of the U.S. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant."Operation Midway Blitz was announced on September 8, 2025, in honor of Katie Abraham, a young woman killed by an illegal alien in Illinois. “For years, Governor Pritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago’s streets — putting American lives at risk and making Chicago a magnet for criminals," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin at the beginning of Operation Midway Blitz. "President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message: No city is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.” Like Blaze News?

Easy Crock Pot French Onion Meatballs with a rich onion broth and melted mozzarella cheese on top. A set it and forget it slow cooker favorite! AN EASY DUMP AND GO DINNER MEAL If you love the comforting flavors of French onion soup, you’re going to fall head over heels for these Crock Pot French Onion Meatballs. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, game day gatherings, or whenever you want a hearty meal with minimal effort and still want to get that maximum amount of flavor. No real prep work, just toss it all in and go about your day! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Can I use Homemade Meatballs instead of frozen ones? Sure, I used frozen ones for the convenience of it with this recipe. It’s super simple to just grab the bag from the freezer and get rocking and rolling on the recipe. But if you want to make some Homemade Meatballs, by all means, go for it. Just make sure they’re almost fully cooked before adding them to the slow cooker. Otherwise, they could potentially fall apart in the broth or will release too much grease while cooking. You could certainly use Turkey Meatballs too. Can I use Italian meatballs instead? I think the Homestyle meatballs are going to work best here. The Italian ones will have the Italian Seasonings that don’t work quite as well with the other flavors. But, in a pinch, I suppose they could work, especially since the flavors aren’t super strong in most frozen meatball varieties. How should I serve these French Onion Meatballs? I love serving them as a meal, but you could technically serve them as an appetizer. As you can see, when I made these Slow Cooker French Onion Meatballs, I served them with mashed potatoes and some steamed green beans. You could even do Dinner Rolls, which would be great to soak up any extra broth. I think egg noodles pasta would be another good option. Is this salty? Yes, it definitely can be if you do not use the low or no sodium options like I suggest. I’ve made it both ways (with regular and no sodium) and we preferred it with lower/no sodium options. If you are worried at all about if this is too salty for you, I always suggest using no sodium options, whenever possible. This goes for the beef broth, French Onion Soup and the soup mix especially. I also suggest making your own Homemade Onion Soup Mix (my version is salt free). Do I need to thaw the meatballs first? No need to thaw the meatballs. They go straight from freezer to slow cooker. What else can I add? Stir in a handful of sliced mushrooms and freshly sliced onions for extra texture and umami. Can I cook them for longer than 4 hours? You can let it go a little longer on low (up to 6 hours), but the meatballs are already cooked, so you’re mostly just infusing flavor.  How do I store leftover French Onion Meatballs? Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop until warmed through. You can freeze the leftovers, though the cheese texture may change slightly after thawing. Still tasty, just not quite as gooey. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) frozen beef homestyle meatballs– You can make homemade meatballs if that’s what you prefer. I shared more on that above in the Frequently Asked Question section above. My personal favorite frozen meatballs are the Johnsonville Homestyle Meatballs (not an affiliate link). Unfortunately, my one store that carries them doesn’t keep them in stock often, but I use them when I can. Any other brand that you like should work here. low or no sodium beef broth– I highly, highly recommend LOW or NO SODIUM here. With these ingredients things can get super salty really fast so please use those lower or no salt options. You can always add salt in at the end but you can’t take it out once it is in there. If you have any sensitivities to salt, definitely go with no sodium. French onion soup mix or beefy onion soup mix – Knorr (not an affiliate link) makes a nice brand of this mix, you can pick up a packet of the Lipton onion soup mix or the store brand. Of course, you can use a Homemade French Onion Soup mix as well. I definitely recommend making it yourself if you need to control your salt intake since my homemade version has no salt in it. shredded mozzarella cheese – you can try other shredded cheese options if that is what you would enjoy more. Shredded gruyere also works wonderfully here. fresh thyme– this is an optional ingredient that I used for garnish) HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT FRENCH ONION MEATBALLS: Add the frozen meatballs in a single layer on the bottom of a 4-6 quart crockpot. Pour the can of French Onion Soup over the top of the meatballs. Sprinkle the packet of beefy onion soup mix over the top.
