Notes
- No need to defrost frozen meatballs before adding to the slow cooker; they will cook thoroughly during the slow cooking time.
- You can use fresh mushrooms or cremini mushrooms for more depth of flavor.
- For a thicker gravy, you can cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce the sauce.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
- Adjust salt to taste after cooking since gravy mixes can contain varying levels of sodium.
