"please Make Those Meatballs!"- Crockpot Meatballs

Submitted by Taylors Mommy

"My kids, and the neighbourhood kids, are always asking for me to make these...little do they know it is so easy! I put it together in the morning, or even the night before, and the crockpot does the rest. I have made bigger and smaller batches...just adjust ingredients accordingly:) Awesome over mashed potatoes or egg noodles."

Quick, easy and very good. I used Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup with Roasted Garlic. Received many compliments and recipe requests when I made this for my family Christmas. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this recipe on 4/16/12 for " Spring PAC 2012 " and most importantly mine and my SO's dinner. :) Since the bag of meatballs only had 14 oz. in it the recipe was made as follows,only 1 can of golden mushroom soup( just a personal preference ) was needed and the full package of brown gravy mix was used . For the amount of water, only about 1/3 cup or so was used. And six hours of cook time was enough for my crockpot. I did however find out that the gravy wasn't as thick as we would have liked it. So about a cup was removed and placed in a saucepan, then a slurry of about 2 Tblsps.of flour along with 1/3 cup of water was added to the gravy.Then added a bit of pepper,stirred well, and heated through. Served this over Recipe#243562 and it was very,very good. Thank you for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I would rate this 4 1/2*. It did turn out salty but I will use low sodium mushroom soup the next time I make it. To cut the salt, I added about 1/2 Cup sour cream. It was a big hit at our house and it was so easy to throw together. I served it over whole wheat penne noodles. Thanks for the recipe!

I used Better Than Bouillon (1 tsp = 1 cube) in this, and I thought it was a smidge salty. I might only use 1/2 tsp next time. Other than that, it was really very good, and the hubby loved it. We both would have liked more gravy though... maybe with less meatballs next time, the ratio of gravy would be better.

I don't buy frozen meatballs so I used Recipe#380242 for this. I put the soup, gravy mix, bouillon, and water in the crockpot first and stirred it together. Then added my meatballs and let it cook on low for about 5 hours. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
