by HollyThis is a rich and creamy meatball dish that is reminiscent of the famous Swedish Meatballs, but so much easier! You can make your own meatballs with your favorite recipe, or use quick and convenient frozen ones.
Either way, the delicious gravy will enhance their flavor and is wonderful when served over hot egg noodles, or boiled or mashed potatoes. It even makes an absolutely out of this world meatball grinder! :)

Hi,
If I am using frozen meatballs, do they need to be cooked/baked first or can I throw them in the crock pot frozen with the other ingredients?
We add the frozen meatballs directly to the crockpot, Melissa!
I had frozen meatballs and thought of making Swedish Meatballs. My coworker suggested this website because she religiously makes recipes from it and loves them all. This recipe was SO simple and SO delicious! I was a little skeptical when the recipe called for Alfredo sauce, but the ingredients really blended well together! New family favorite!! ❤️
So glad you loved it!! Thank you to both you and your co-worker for your kind words!
Do I need to cook the meatballs before placing them in the crockpot?
Yes, the meatballs should be cooked first. :) Enjoy Phoebe!
You didn’t say if the meatballs are cooked before going in the crockpot … Thank – you!
Yes, the meatballs should be cooked first. :)
