Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb. extra lean ground beef ((use at least 96% lean meat, since you will not drain the fat once it's cooked))
1/3 cup Italian style seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into bite-sized rounds
6 ounces tomato paste
2 cups beef broth, plus additional (to thin to desired consistency, as needed)
½ cup marinara sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's)
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon basil
1 (10.8 ounce) package frozen Italian-style vegetables (I used Birds Eye Steamfresh Italian Blend)
Optional, for serving: cooked pasta or rice
Optional garnish: fresh parsley; fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place carrots in bottom of slow cooker.
  • In a large bowl, use hands or a fork to gently combine meatball ingredients. Form meat mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Place meatballs on top of carrots in the slow cooker.
  • In a separate bowl, combine tomato paste, broth, marinara, seasoned salt, oregano, and basil. Pour over meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for about 4 hours or on HIGH for about 2 hours. For a thinner soup rather than a stew, add extra broth until it reaches desired consistency.
  • Steam vegetables in microwave just until crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes). Stir vegetables into stew and serve over pasta or rice, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley or fresh basil.
