Sweet and Sour Meatballs – My kids love meatballs (like mini rissoles) this sweet and sour meatball recipe was enough to feed our family of 5 for 2 nights. I served with mashed potato and steamed vegetables the first night, then in bread rolls as an easy dinner the following night. View recipe here.
Lamb, Feta & Zucchini Meatballs – I must admit I always lean towards beef and chicken rather than lamb or pork for our main meals. However, I am trying to add more variety into our meals and after enjoying the lamb & sesame rissoles I’ve been searching for more great lamb recipes. I found this Lamb & Feta Meatball recipe in the new Vegie Smugglers Kitchen Collection cookbook, and I love how it hides so many extra goodies. I really loved them and loved the extra little flavour hit of the feta (yum!!) View ingredients here.
Chicken and Coconut Curry Meatballs – Through my childhood I was always served meat and 3 veg. I must admit sausages or chicken schnitzel, mash and vegetables would have to be one of my favourite weeknight meals. Sometimes however I like to fancy it up, and this Chicken & Coconut Curry Meatballs is exactly that. Â View recipe here.

I am collecting together more recipes for my slow cooker arsenal and this will be perfect.
this is a really quick one too Malinda, bonus is you can have the meatballs in the freezer all other ingredients in your pantry.
we also use the store meatballs add a can of mushroom soup and a little water add some fresh mushrooms . I usually bake in the oven but I am sure you could use the crockpot. Serve with rice and vegetables or mashed spud.
ooh Janette that sounds so good, I think I might have to try this one!
Oh these look so yummy!! Will have to add them to the meal planner. Those chicken meatballs also will have to join the list. Thank you for sharing!
the chicken meatballs are good, I’m a sucker for anything with coconut!!
I’ve really been trying to make an effort to use my slow cooker more this year! What a yummy dinner – this would be great for those days when you don’t have time to make dinner!!
I too love my slow cooker, so easy to put everything into it and not have to worry until it’s time to dish up. This is super delicious, the kids love it.:)
i would prefer to make things with very little processed food I.e. No tomato sauce (high in sugar and salt contents). Ever since cooking from mostly natural ingredients using tinned tomatoes and spices has seen me already losing more weight as I need to get 5kg off to get the ideal weight…. Sugar and salt are the culprits in most of the processed foods that are suggested here so have been finding alternative ingredients and still produce those dishes, yum!!!
