Recipe Tips
- Crock Pot Recommendation – I really like this crockpot and I use this all the time and it’s great. My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.
- Combining Sauce Ingredients – Before pouring the gravy mixture over the meatballs, make sure to combine in a bowl first. This makes sure everything is combined evenly.
How to Serve
We love to serve it with egg noodles but any type of pasta you have on hand will be delicious. This meal is also good with asparagus or green beans. This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.
Another idea we love is to serve over mashed potatoes. I love to spoon the gravy over the mashed potatoes for an amazing meal.
It’s also delicious with rice. Learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier.
I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to reheat and serve. We do this for lots of meals and it helps on busy weeknights.
Frequently Asked Questions
We love have more gravy too when making this recipe. We usually add in beef broth with the water to make extra gravy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. We think the meatballs taste even better the next day as they marinate in the gravy for added flavor.
No, there is no need to thaw the frozen meatballs before cooking in the slow cooker. That is why this recipe is so easy as there is very little prep time. Which makes for an easy weeknight meal.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop depending on how much you have leftover.

I made a double batch for a potluck recently. Everyone loved them. I was a little concerned about them being too salty like some other person commented, so I did use a 50% reduced sodium beef broth. It was made by College Inn. I used Mama Lucina homestyle meatballs. I really liked the flavor but I think the next time I might add just a little more A1 or add a little bit of Worcestershire sauce to give them just a little more kick for my own personal taste. Otherwise, I think they were great. I am actually making them again this weekend. Thanks for the recipe.
