Add frozen meatballs to the slow cooker with a few simple add-ons. Let it cook slow and tasty!

This 5-thing slow cooker meatball meal is what I use on my craziest days. It takes me back to warm, easy dinners my mom made fast before night fun. Frozen meatballs and cut onions mean almost no work to start. The slow cooker cooks it while you do emails, drive kids, or rest after a tough day. It’s a big, comfy dish that feels home-made but asks for little help. That’s my favorite kind of weeknight food.

This meatball dinner works with lots of sides from your kitchen. I like it on noodles with butter or soft mashed potatoes to grab the yummy sauce. Rice—white, brown, or fake cauliflower kind—fits if you want it lighter. Add a green salad, baked broccoli, or cooked green beans to finish the plate. For a big group, heat bread or garlic toast to dip in extra sauce. It makes a hug-in-a-bowl dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds frozen raw meatballs

• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)

• 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara or pasta sauce

• 1 cup beef broth (or water)

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano/basil blend)

Slow Cooker Meatball Dinner: Directions

1. Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray or rub with a little oil. This makes cleanup easy.

2. Put chopped onion on the bottom. Spread it flat.

3. Add marinara or pasta sauce and beef broth. Sprinkle Italian seasoning. Stir sauce, broth, and seasoning over onions gently.

4. Put frozen raw meatballs on top of sauce. Spread them even. Press down so most are in the liquid.

5. Cover with lid. Cook it on LOW heat 6-8 for hrs or HIGH heat for 3-4 hrs. Meatballs cooked through, onions soft. Don’t open lid much to keep heat right.

6. Stir gently to cover meatballs in sauce. Taste. Add salt and pepper if you want.

7. Serve hot over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Spoon extra sauce and onions on top.
