Notes
Use a large slow cooker: I recommend using at least a 5-quart crockpot to make this. If you fill a slow cooker more than about ¾ full, it will struggle to cook your food evenly and the food on top will steam rather than simmer.
If using fresh meatballs: Cooking times can vary if you’re using homemade fresh meatballs. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F.
Cool completely before storing: Let the meatballs cool to room temperature before storing them, so you don’t get condensation in the container which would make the dish watery.
