Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen meatballs for this recipe- Use plain meatballs though, any flavored meatballs such as Italian style will alter the end result.
  • Refrigerate leftover up to 3 days in an air tight container. Freeze up to 3 months. This is great as a make ahead freezer meal. Just add all the ingredients to a freezer bag and freeze until ready to use. Thaw over night in the refrigerator and dump in the slow cooker. Add additional cook time if the sauce is still frozen.
  • Add bell peppers or chopped onions to this dish.
  • Do not use flour in place of cornstarch, the sauce will be weird.
