Super tasty meatballs with little bites of heaven in a pot… What could be better??
You can make your own meatballs, of course! But to save time, I used these babies that I get from my local Costco. They’re so delicious & ALL NATURAL! The ingredients list (or lack thereof!) speaks for itself: ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chicken broth, egg, & seasonings. That’s it!!
First things first… Prepare the stuffing mix & put it in the microwave to warm up for 3 minutes. While that’s cooking, wash the mini peppers & slice off a little of the top to make an opening that will make it easier to stuff.
Spread a little of your favorite tomato sauce to the bottom of the crockpot that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Add the stuffed peppers in a single layer on top of the sauce. Then add the meatballs. For this dinner, since I was feeding 6 people, I added two layers of meatballs. On top of that, slowly pour the remainder of the sauce, making sure each meatball is coated.
Cover. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan, if desired. Serve with remaining stuffing. SO GOOD!
