side of buttered green beans, steamed carrots, or a crisp lettuce salad balances the richness nicely. It also pairs well with applesauce or coleslaw, the way many Midwestern and Amish tables do, for a little sweet contrast alongside the savory meatballs and potatoes.
Slow Cooker Amish Meatball Stew
Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 pounds frozen fully cooked beef meatballs
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (14.5-ounce) can beef broth
1 (1-ounce) packet onion soup mix
Directions
Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a bit of oil or cooking spray for easier cleanup.
Spread the raw cubed potatoes evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker, making a level bed. This keeps them close to the heat so they become tender and soak up the flavors.
