green beans over the top of the meatballs during the last 30 to 45 minutes of cooking so they heat through but don’t overcook. For an herby twist, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning or a pinch of dried thyme with the soup mixture. If your family likes a bit of tang, finish the stew with a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to sharpen the savory flavors. Finally, if you need to feed a crowd, you can easily double the recipe in a larger slow cooker; just keep the potatoes in a relatively even layer on the bottom so they cook through, and extend the cooking time by about 30 to 60 minutes if the crock is very full.
Dump frozen meatballs in the crock with potatoes and 3 other ingredients. You get a meal so delicious your family will be begging for more.
