Oh yes — this is one of those “dump and go” slow cooker dinners that feels almost too easy for how good it turns out.
Here’s the simple version:
🥔🍝 Crockpot Meatballs & Potatoes (5-Ingredient Comfort Meal)
🛒 You’ll Need:
- 1 bag frozen meatballs (about 24–32 oz)
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes (halved if large)
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
👩🍳 How To Make It
1️⃣ Spray your crockpot lightly with cooking spray.
2️⃣ Add potatoes to the bottom.
3️⃣ Dump frozen meatballs right on top (no thawing needed).
4️⃣ Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over everything.
5️⃣ Pour the beef broth over the top.
6️⃣ Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
7️⃣ In the last 15 minutes, sprinkle cheese over the top and let it melt.
✨ What You Get
- Tender, juicy meatballs
- Buttery, flavor-packed potatoes
- Savory onion gravy
- Melted cheesy finish
It tastes like you worked way harder than you did.
🔥 Want To Upgrade It?
- Add 1 cup frozen green beans for a full one-pot meal
- Stir in ½ cup sour cream at the end for creamy gravy
- Add garlic powder + black pepper for extra depth
If you’d like, I can give you a creamy garlic-parmesan version that tastes like something from a restaurant but still only uses pantry ingredients.
