I used to be a kitchen overachiever who considered it “cheating” to use store-bought already cooked meatballs.

These days I’m glad to have precooked meatballs as an option when time is short, but if you prefer, you can always make your own.

We enjoyed our slow cooker French onion meatballs with mashed potatoes and broccoli. They would be good with rice, cauliflower rice, noodles or zucchini noodles too.

    Itโ€™s great!! I will make over and over again! Honestly, there is nothing easier! Thank you for this recipe!

  2. If not using frozen meatballs… making them from scratch… do you cook them first or add them uncooked to the slow cooker?

    1. Hi Elyce, you could make this recipe with either precooked or uncooked meatballs, whichever you prefer. They will take longer to cook if uncooked, of course. Hope this helps. ~Martha

    1. Hi Jill,

      Mashed potatoes, noodles, zucchini noodles, rice, roasted carrots, roasted broccoli are some of the sides I’ve served with these meatballs. ~Martha
