Just because I’m throwing a bunch of stuff into the slow cooker doesn’t mean I don’t expect greatness in 8 hours or so. This slow cooker meatball Stroganoff really hit the spot on a cold day. Tender meatballs (you can use pre-cooked or make your own, whatever floats your boat!). Creamy sauce (I could’ve eaten a bowl of the sauce when no one was watching). Just what I wanted. Simple comfort food at its best.
I used store-bought meatballs from the freezer section because, hey, they were on sale! That and I didn’t have time to make meatballs from scratch for this slow cooker meatball stroganoff. If you do use homemade meatballs make sure you cook them fully first. You do still want to get a bit of a sear on the outside. Texture is important when cooking in a slow cooker and that sear will give you just that. Plus the yum-yums leftover in the pan after browning the meatballs really makes the sauce taste fantastic. Don’t just throw the meatballs into the crockpot as is, brown them first!
