Slow-cooker hearty meatball stew

I love my slow-cooker in the winter. And Gooseberry Patch’s new cookbook “Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round” has just the recipes I’m looking for this time of year! This was just one of the easy (and yummy!) recipes I tried from this cookbook. The hearty meatball stew is easy to put together, and is great comfort food for these cold nights!

This is so easy to put together – all you do is layer! Start with 1 pound of cubed new potatoes.

Add 1 pound of baby carrots. (Mine had been sitting around for a little while. These are perfect for slow-cooking!)

Top with one sliced onion.

Add some mushrooms here, or other veggies if you want. Then toss in one pound of frozen meatballs.

Add a jar of beef gravy.

And a can of Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes.

Top it off with 3-1/4 cups of water, and as much (or as little) pepper as you like.

Cover it up up, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. No stirring!

About an hour before serving, add a can of corn (drained). Give it all a big stir here to mix everything up.

So warm… so good….

Serve as is, or with a big hunk of crusty bread, or some thick noodles. Ta da!

Here’s a printable recipe card for you:

It really is that easy! Enjoy!
