Cooking Instructions

Slow Cooker Instructions

Cook for 4-12 hours on low heat. (Make sure your slow cooker is between a quarter to three quarters filled, any less and the sauce may burn. Any more and the meal may take significantly longer to cook.)

Boil pasta in a separate pot for 7-12 minutes, then serve meatballs over pasta.

 

Boil in Bag Instructions

Boil a pot of water, then place the frozen meal bag into the pot. Cook for 30 minutes. Make sure the bag is submerged in water and not touching the pot, any plastic touching the pot will burn.

Boil pasta in a separate pot for 7-12 minutes, then serve meatballs over pasta.

CAUTION: Bag will be hot and releases hot steam when opened.

 

Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker Instructions

Cook for 10-15 minutes from frozen or 8-12 minutes thawed.

Boil pasta in a separate pot for 7-12 minutes, then serve meatballs over pasta.

 

Stovetop Instructions

Completely defrost the meal, then pour contents into a pot on the stove. Cook for a minimum of 30-45 minutes (or until fully cooked) over medium heat. Longer cooking times will increase tastiness, and 3-4 hours on low heat is ideal.

Boil pasta in a separate pot for 7-12 minutes, then serve meatballs over pasta.

I have used these meatballs in many dishes. Pairs well with the Ravioli, too. They are giant sized so perfect for growing boys - meat ball subs make my life easier

Good portion size

Good portion size, good flavor and quick shipment. There was no dry ice in the box. The small dry ice bag was empty, so good thing I was home the afternoon that the box was delivered.

So Good

These are so good. The meatballs are a little on the spicy side but not overwhelming. I'm sensitive to spice, so they're probably perfect for everyone else. Wish I could add an extra meatball or two. The sauce is thick and rich and clings to the pasta. There's at least one portion of this in every order I place.

I sent this to a co-workers family and they devoured it. He was raised in an Italian family and said they tasted just like his Nona's meatballs!

Best Meatballs Ever

Grandma’s Homemade Meatballs from Water Crock are hands-down the best I’ve ever had—definitely a 10 out of 10. The meatballs were generous in size, incredibly flavorful, and perfectly tender. The sauce was rich and delicious, complementing the meatballs beautifully. Absolutely a must-try!

They were very good! I would love to see organic choices on your menu. I would buy more if there were items that were organic. These meatballs were the only thing that were closest to organic.
