This Italian Meatballs dish uses cream of mushroom soup and is filled with vegetables including potatoes, carrots, celery and onion! My husband officially declares this one of his favorite meals! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carando®. All opinions are entirely my own.
When my husband tasted this meal, his first words (with eyes closed) were “This is good. Real good.” I immediately agreed! Not only does this Slow Cooker Meatball Potato Casserole taste great, but it smells amazing too! Don’t you love the way your home smells after you’ve been slow cooking a home cooked meal all day long?
For this dish, we’re slow cooking Italian meatballs, potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion in a delicious cream of mushroom soup/beef onion mix gravy to make one delicious casserole!
The recipe calls for 1 pound Italian-Style Meatballs. I used Carando Abruzzese Italian Style Meatballs, which are blended with cheese and herbs.
I love Carando Meatballs because of their great taste and ease of use! Carando Meatballs have no fillers, no MSG, are gluten-free, and are made from premium pork. I love slow cooker meals because they’re easy and perfect for busy days. With Carando Italian Meatballs, there’s no need to spend time making my own because I can buy homemade quality ones at the store. I picked them up in the fresh meat deli section of my local Giant Eagle. Here’s a coupon to save $1 on Carando Meatballs so you can try them too!
This Slow Cooker Meatball Potato Casserole is simple to make! First, pour the meatballs with the gravy mixture in the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours. After 3 hours, you’ll add in your vegetables and cook for an additional 2.5 hours.
This casserole is filled with vegetables including: potatoes, carrots, celery and onion! In each bite, you can taste the creamy gravy! Who doesn’t love gravy with slow cooker meatballs and vegetables?!

Really enjoyed this! Made it tonight. Added thyme from the garden, in addition to fresh rosemary. Mine was more liquid-y broth than stew-like. Did I do something wrong? But amazing, none-the-less.
Should I reduce the cup of water in this recipe? Or use the flour and water to thicken the sauce?
I saw this in my inbox this morning so decided to make it. It was AMAZING. We served alongside some egg noodles and everyone wanted second helpings!
Did you replace to pototes with egg noodles? I can’t wait to try it.
That looks amazing! Why do I never think to use meatballs in less traditional ways? 😉
I never thought about using meatballs in a potato casserole. This is a great idea!! I will be trying this recipe soon.
Thanks so much for this idea. Sounds fantastic.
Oh my word, I hopped over here from #ThisIsHowWeRoll the second I saw this because: 1)I have two teenagers with insane schedules that change every single night, one self-employed husband who works long hours, and a slow cooker that needs to be filled with something for them to eat; and 2)I have this enormous bag of frozen meatballs leftover from my daughter’s HS grad party last June that need to be used. I think it is no exaggeration to say that this recipe might just change our lives. 😉 Thank you so much!
With using the frozen meatballs, did you change the timing at all? Thanks!
Hey Meghan, I recommend defrosting the meatballs first so they aren’t completely frozen. Enjoy, this is one of our favorite casseroles!
This looks so good…like an easy version of beef stew. Pinning this to my slow cooker board! Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
I love a stew and casserole, so will definitely be giving this a try#ourminilinkypart@_karendennis
Good to know there are decent meatballs to buy! I made my own for my post this week …

Can we use are own meatball recipe in place of the frozen store bought ones?
Absolutely! Enjoy Lynda!
So is it 3/4 cup water or 2 3/4? The recipe says both!
Hey Brooke, it’s 2 3/4 cup water total. Step 1 calls for 3/4 cup and Step 4 calls for 2 cups. Enjoy the casserole!
Hi, I made this and my husband and I loved it!!!! My kids however didn’t care for the rosemary infused into it! 🙁 Have you ever used any other seasonings or have a yummy substitute suggestion?
I still give it a 2 thumbs up!!! 🙂
Thanks Rebecca
Hey Rebecca, I’m glad half of your family liked it! Hah. Sure, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon oregano instead – that’s usually a more kid friendly thumbs up! Enjoy!
