Put frozen meatballs in a slow cooker with these 4 ingredients. The saucy result will become a family favorite.

Place the frozen meatballs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are well-coated.
Add the water to the slow cooker, gently stirring to combine with the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through.
About 30 minutes before serving, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and add it to the slow cooker, stirring to combine with the sauce and meatballs.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for about 10 minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce. If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in half a cup of heavy cream or ricotta cheese before adding the pasta. For a vegetarian version, substitute the meatballs with plant-based alternatives or roasted vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers. Experiment with different pasta shapes, such as rigatoni or fusilli, to change the texture of the dish.
