You know that we are all about comfort food here at Bubba Pie. I’ve discovered that one of the easiest ways to get great, authentic comfort food is with your Slow Cooker. These ingenious small kitchen appliances are one of the things that keeps this mom sane. I can use it to find an easy dinner on busy weeknights, entertaining friends during the holidays or preparing a fun side dish.
I can even use it to make some awesome desserts like this Crockpot Apple Dump Cake!
While all these uses of the Crockpot are appreciated, what I’m really looking for is those easy weeknight dinners. This is why I LOVE this Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs Recipe. It is so versatile! We can use it for dinner between soccer and basketball practice, to feed a larger crowd or even as an appetizer!

Our Swedish Meatball Sauce
This version of Swedish Meatballs has a pretty light sauce. If you wanted to thicken it up a bit you could certainly add some corn starch. But, honestly, it may be better to be a little light on that classic Swedish meatballs sauce. We use Sour Cream in our version. If sour cream isn’t your thing, you could just double up the half and half. You may want to add corn starch if you do this to make sure that it does thicken up enough.
What To Serve With Your Swedish Meatballs?
We pair our Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs with some soft Egg Noodles. Simple prepare them according to the directions on the package as the meatballs are cooking. Mashed potatoes would also work great with Swedish Meatballs. And add some green to your plate would work well too! Maybe some green beans or broccoli!
