### Put Meatballs in a Slow Cooker & Get Ready to Enjoy a Tasty Dinner
Sometimes, the best meals are the simplest ones—especially when they require minimal effort but deliver big on flavor. Meatballs in a slow cooker are the perfect example of this. With just a few ingredients and some patience, you can enjoy a hearty, delicious dinner that the whole family will love. Whether you’re cooking for a busy weeknight or preparing for a weekend gathering, this slow cooker meatball recipe is sure to hit the spot.
#### Ingredients:
– **1 pound of frozen or fresh meatballs** (store-bought or homemade)
– **1 jar (24 ounces) of marinara sauce** (or any sauce of your choice)
– **1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese** (optional, for an extra layer of flavor)
– **Fresh parsley or basil** (optional, for garnish)
#### Directions:
1. **Prepare the Meatballs:**
If you’re using frozen meatballs, there’s no need to thaw them. Just take them directly from the freezer and place them into the slow cooker. If you’re using fresh homemade meatballs, you can add them directly as well.
2. **Add the Sauce:**
Pour the jar of marinara sauce (or your preferred sauce) over the meatballs, making sure to cover them completely. The sauce will infuse the meatballs with flavor and help them stay juicy while they cook.
3. **Set the Slow Cooker:**
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on **low for 6-8 hours** or on **high for 3-4 hours**. The beauty of the slow cooker is that it allows the flavors to develop slowly, so the longer the meatballs cook, the more flavorful they become.
4. **Check the Meatballs:**
After the cooking time, check the meatballs to ensure they are cooked through and tender. If you prefer them to be a bit crispier, you can remove the lid in the last 30 minutes and let them cook uncovered.
5. **Optional Finishing Touches:**
If you want to add a little extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the meatballs during the last 15 minutes of cooking. You can also garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
Once your meatballs are done, serve them on a platter, with some pasta, on sub rolls for meatball sandwiches, or simply alongside some crusty bread. The savory, flavorful sauce and tender meatballs will make every bite a treat.
