This creamy spinach meatball recipe is so easy and is a crockpot recipe!!

This is another recipe that uses prebaked meatballs. You can make them yourself or use the convenience of storebought. I have been trying out a few different premade meatballs from Walmart. They were pretty good. By far the best I have tried are from Costco. If you have a Costco membership, I highly recommend those meatballs (if you don’t want to make your own).

This is a ridiculously easy recipe that I like to put in my crockpot.

You don’t have to use a crockpot if you don’t want to. I just like the convenience of putting ingredients into my crockpot and walking away for hours. You can put everything in a 9×13 pan and bake it. I am sure you could even pressure cook this for about 5 minutes. This is such a simple and easy recipe, definitely give it a try.

Let’s talk spinach.

I am not a huge spinach fan. I wish I was, but I am not. This spinach in this recipe is about the only spinach I actually like. I buy the $1 frozen bag, not boxed. My whole family will eat this, and no one has a negative comment. If your family aren’t huge spinach fans, give this recipe a try. I, the resident hater of cooked spinach, endorse this recipe. In fact, we are having it again this week!!
