There are evenings in summer when the garden is humming, the daylight lingers, and the last thing anybody wants is to stand over a hot stove.
That is when a simple slow cooker supper like this earns its keep. Using frozen fully cooked pork meatballs and just two pantry companions, you can set dinner up hours ahead and come back to a warm, saucy dish that feels a little old-fashioned in the best way—easy, thrifty, and fit for a busy family table.
These sweet-savory meatballs are mighty good spooned over fluffy white rice, buttered egg noodles, or a pile of mashed potatoes if you want something especially comforting.
For summer, I also like to set them out with toothpicks alongside a crisp cabbage slaw, corn on the cob, or a cold cucumber salad, and they pair nicely with iced tea or lemonade for an easy porch supper.
