Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Amish Meatball Noodles

recip


  • Place frozen meatballs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Spoon cream of mushroom soup over top.
  • Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly across the surface.
  • Do not stir—this creates a protective sauce layer as it melts.

2. Cook Low & Slow

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours (or HIGH for 3–3.5 hours), until meatballs are hot through and flavors meld.

3. Add Noodles at the End

  • 30 minutes before serving, stir in uncooked egg noodles.
  • Cover and continue cooking until noodles are tender (do not overcook).

4. Serve Warm

  • Gently stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Optional: Top with extra onion soup mix or fresh parsley.
