Meatball & Vegetable Stew in Crock Pot image

A very easy & delicious filling, wintry stew, made even easier by using the Crock-Pot. I was hesitant about the mushroom gravy addition, but it makes a great flavorful sauce. Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens cookbook

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package frozen cooked meatballs (*I like Italian style, but any will do)
8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (*I like Italian-style, with broccoli, red peppers, etc)
1 (12 ounce) jar mushroom beef gravy
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with italian flavoring or 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can garlic, undrained
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup frozen corn or 1 (29 ounce) can corn, drained
chopped mushroom (optional)
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In 4-quart crock pot, place frozen meatballs and frozen vegetables. In a bowl, stir together tomatoes, gravy, water and seasonings; pour over meatballs & vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on low-heat for 6-8 hours or high-heat for 4 hours.
  • Add corn and mushrooms, if using (I use jarred OR fresh) about 30 min before serving.
  • I usually sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of each serving.
