Ingredients
  

For the Stew

  • 32 ounces Frozen Meatballs or one 28 ounce bag, or homemade
  • 2, 24 ounce Bags Baby Potatoes halved
  • 2 stalks Celery cleaned and roughly chopped
  • 3 whole Carrots cleaned and roughly chopped
  • 1 medium Onion roughly chopped
  • 8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced

For the Sauce

  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 can Golden Mushroom Soup
  • 1 package French Onion Soup Mix

Instructions
 

  • First, halve your baby potatoes and layer them in an even layer on the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Second, mince your garlic, roughly chop your celery, carrots, and onion, and slice your mushrooms, then layer the chopped vegetables right on top of the potatoes.
  • Then, evenly disperse the frozen meatballs across the top of the potatoes and vegetables.
  • After that, in a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, golden mushroom soup, and french onion soup mix until well combined.
  • Once the sauce is ready, pour it evenly over the meatballs and vegetables so everything gets coated as it cooks.
  • Finally, cover and cook on high for 2 to 4 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours, until the potatoes are fork tender and the meatballs are heated through. Then, serve your stew warm, straight from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • Great for busy weeknights, fall dinners, cozy suppers, easy family meals, freezer dinners, and cold nights.
  • Swap in homemade meatballs for a from scratch version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for a make ahead meal.
