Pan Meatball Casserole is one of those family favorites that everyone loves. It’s a great frozen meal and I’ve adapted it for the slow cooker and Instant Pot.
One-pot dishes are the kind of recipes that motivate me to cook dinner. I love the idea of some dishes and easy preparation! Some of my favorite dishes include Easy Beef Stroganoff Cottage Pie and One Pan Jambalaya.
It’s one of those magical dinners where uncooked noodles gravy and meatballs are added to a casserole dish and cooked together in the same pan!
It doesn’t get much easier then and it’s the kind of warm comforting meal everyone in your family will love!
