Notes
- Look for a good brand of frozen meatballs. I like the ones that are all beef with no fillers.
- If you have the time and inclination, you can make your own meatballs from scratch. Brown them in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker so they hold their shape during cooking.
- You can double the recipe if you feed a crowd or host a party.
- If you like it saucy, add a second can of French onion soup to the crock pot so there is lots and lots of gravy.
