Notes
You can cook this on high for 2-3 hours instead, but keep an eye that you’re not overcooking the meatballs.
Can you overcook meatballs in a crockpot? You can, especially because they’re already cooked!
This is why I like to cook them on low, so there’s less of a chance they overcook and dry out.
Possible Substitutions/Additions
If you love onions in your stroganoff, feel free to add diced onions!
Have a homemade meatball recipe that you love? Go ahead and use those. Just make sure they’re fully-cooked meatballs and
if not, adjust the cook time to make sure they cook through.
A dash of Worcestershire sauce into the soup base along with the rest of the liquids can add a depth of flavor.
Do a little taste test. If you’ve used low-sodium broth you may need salt and pepper to taste.
For a lighter version, stick with chicken meatballs and light sour cream. Remember light sour cream won’t have the same thick consistency as regular.
Use whatever short or medium pasta noodles you prefer. I love the lightness of the egg noodles, but you can use something like fusilli, rotini, or penne instead.
Skip the noodles completely and serve the meatball stroganoff over mashed potatoes or rice.
You can use fresh, frozen, or homemade meatballs – any variety (beef, chicken, turkey, or veggie). Meatball stroganoff freezes well, so I encourage it if you’ve got a lot left over!
Cool it first, then pour it into an airtight freezer container or freezer bag and keep it frozen for up to 3 months.
Thaw in the fridge overnight,
