I made this on 10/26/10 for the Crockpot/Rice Cooker Event over in KK's Forum. As SmoochTheCook did, I too used beef gravy ( I don't care for mushrooms ) There was 1 problem with this recipe. After cooking the meatballs were really,really mushy. If the meatballs were browned a bit before adding them, maybe that might help ? Or adding them closer to the end of the cooking time, couldn't hurt either. But, even with that little problem this recipe had a very nice " Comfort Food " feel to it. Thank you for posting, and " Keep Smiling :) "

This is a great dish to make on a busy day -- it only took 5 minutes to get it in the slow cooker!! We enjoyed it, but the meatballs were mushy and kind of bland; I bought Armour brand. Maybe another kind would be better, but I will certainly try it again. (Maybe I'll save some meatballs from making spaghetti; since you put them in frozen, it's a real time saver.) There is enough yummy gravy left that next time I will make rice to go with it. This is a good recipe with hardly any prep time for a busy cook. Thanks, Lauralie41!
