Let\u2019s break it down- there are a couple key secrets to making meatballs that are extra juicy and tender. You\u2019ve got to throw in a panade (fancy word for a starchy paste that makes them extra delicious), and then let them simmer gently, cooking low and slow. (The slow cooker does all the work here!) I\u2019ve done tons of testing, so you\u2019ll get that perfect texture and flavor every time you whip this up.<\/p>\n<p>Using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/crock-pot-4-5qt-manual-slow-cooker-light-blue\/-\/A-86095060#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric slow cooker<\/a> is the perfect vessel for braising meat over a long period of time. Compared to a stove top, the heating is more consistent and never gets above the boiling point. In other words, your meatballs won\u2019t get overcooked! They\u2019ll be nice and tender, not tough and dry. The spiced meatballs simmer in a lightly thickened beef broth, then cream is added at the end of cooking for some extra richness. I love this recipe because it\u2019s virtually hands-off and a hit with the family every time. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-needed-for-slow-cooker-swedish-meatballs\">Ingredients Needed for Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs<\/h2>\n<p>Swedish meatballs are all about the perfect combination of ingredients!
