How to Make Slow Cooker Meatball Stew
This is the kind of recipe you can’t mess up — it’s practically foolproof! Perfect for beginners, busy parents, or anyone who just wants dinner to cook itself.
Instructions:
Throw everything in your slow cooker!
Add the frozen meatballs, mixed veggies, corn, diced potatoes, and beef stew mix right into your crockpot.
Cut meatballs in half (optional).
If you have little ones or prefer smaller bites, slice the meatballs in half before adding them in.
Add water.
Fill the crockpot about ¾ full with water — this will give you a rich, flavorful broth as it cooks.
Cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 7–8 hours.
Stir occasionally if you’re home, but it’ll do fine unattended.
Serve and enjoy!
When it’s ready, ladle it into bowls and top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or shredded cheese if you’d like.
