COOK’S TIPS: If I’m serving for a crowd, I will mix together and keep my crock pot on the ‘warm’ or ‘buffet’ setting. But when it’s just my family, everyone can serve themselves and grab as many meatballs and sauce as they like.
Enjoy!

    Apologies if someone has already asked this but do you think I could substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream?

      Okay, Thanks for replying to me. I really appreciate it. I get most of my recipes that I can never find off here and I can’t even get one reply. Not the first, wont be asking a question again.

        Hey Dawn! So sorry. I am only one person (not a corporation.) The time when you last commented I was getting emergency surgery on my esophagus which put me down and out for a few weeks. Yes, you can use cream of chicken, cream of potato or even cream of bacon. You don’t taste the mushrooms as a separate ingredient in this recipe though.

    These were so delicious!! Has anyone used turkey meatballs instead of regular ones? We have a vegetarian coming for dinner and want to make this again with turkey meatballs. But need to know if they’re good.

    My family and I love this recipe. We are a BIG family so I usually do a 3 lb bag of meatballs and double the sauce stuff. Sooooo goooooood.

      Katie,
      When you double the sauce and add an extra pound of meatballs, how much longer does it take to cook your meatballs? I’m asking because I’d like to use this recipe for a family reunion and we might have up to 18 people to feed. We could possibly cook two crockpots of this.
      Thank you!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! We love these meatballs and make them quite often. Have you ever made them in an Instant Pot mixed with egg noodles? I want to give it a try to save some time but not sure how it would turn out.

      I tend to read through all the comments when I am getting a new recipe and found this in an earlier comment. I hope it helps.

      Yummy satisfying meal! I’ve had this pinned on my “Meatball” board for a while now. When I pulled it up late in the afternoon and still had to go shopping; I realized I didn’t have enough time to “Slow Cook”. So what do I always do……. Put it in the electric Pressure Cooker. Assembled as directed in the Pressure Cooker, except I substituted the Onion Soup mix with the Garlic with Herb version. Cooked on High pressure for 10 mins. and then let it Natural Release for 7 mins. before manually letting off the remaining pressure. At that point I turned the cooker to Med. with lid off and mixed in canned mushrooms until heated. Finally I allowed mixture to stop simmering before stirring in Sour Cream.

    Could I make this recipe on the stove top instead of in the crock
    Pot? Planning a meal for tomorrow but realized I don’t have enough frozen meatballs on hand to put it in the crock pot in the morning.

    Can you freeze the leftover meatballs & sauce? There’s only one of me and that would be to much for me to eat.
    Thank you,

    Wondering if could double qty & cook in crockpot – would want to put noodles in with everything like I do with chicken noodle dishes?
