Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Make your slow cooker preparation even faster. Shape the meatballs and cut-up vegetables the night before. Refrigerate until ready to add to the slow cooker. Top with spaghetti sauce and cook as directed.

Cooking Know-How

Every time you lift the lid of your slow cooker, precious heat is lost. So, keep the lid on and resist the urge to peek!

Very easy! I formed the meatballs the night before and then put everything but the sauce into the crockpot, then put the crockpot in the fridge. The next morning i poured the sauce on and set it to cook. It was done when I got home from work. I love this recipe!

My family enjoyed this recipe, but next time I think we would add Italian spices to the meatball mixture and an additional jar of pasta sauce after cooking.

My husband absolutely loves these meatballs. I always add a little extra sauce and it turns out great! I made it for visiting family (6 guests) during the holidays and again at a family gathering recently. (12 people) I also use turkey meat and not beef and it is great. My cousin just asked me for the recipe! A must have recipe!

This is one of the best meatball recipes I have made. It is so easy. It would be great for a pot luck dinner.I use a combination of ground chicken and beef and use a spicy pasta sauce. It freezes great for individual portions. Delicious!!!!!
