Slow-Cooked Meatball Stew
I came up with this hearty meal-in-one as another way to use frozen meatballs. It's quick to put together in the morning and ready when my husband gets home in the evening. —Iris Schultz, Miamisburg, Ohio

This is good and easy, I like the flavor of stew and all of the veggies, but don't like stew meat, so meatballs are a nice compromise. I added a bag of frozen corn and next time I'm going to try with Trader Joe's mini meatballs so there are more meatballs to go around.
It’s an easy recipe and ok in terms of flavor but nothing I’m excited to eat again.

I had some tomato juice on hand that I wanted to use up and it worked fine in this recipe. So easy and very tasty!
delicious! timing is right on - about 20 minutes prep and then slow cooked all day long. Now I need to convert an Instant Pot recipe!
We loved this recipe. Didn't change a thing. Look forward to making this again and again in the future.

We loved this stew. I've made it a couple of times and it was even better each time I make it. I didn't change a thing.
Turned it into stove-top soup. Made homemade beef gravy and skipping the onion soup mix, added onion powder to taste. Used 2 cups Trader Joe's Creamy Tomato soup, 1 1/2 teaspoons basil, 2 Tablespoons dried parsley and quartered the Wellesley Farms beef meatballs. Sprinkled with Parmesan. Very Good!
Sorry, I have not-yet found (other than home made) a frozen meatball that did not make me retch. What brand to you use?
