A flavorful seasoning blend makes these Slow Cooker Chicken Meatballs with Cream Sauce a quick and delicious weeknight meal idea! 
With summer winding down, kids heading back to school and cooler days just around the corner I think it’s time we chat again about delicious dinners that are simple to make and totally family approved! You already know how much I love to talk about using your slow cooker to make meals at home. It’s such a time saver and so much better than grabbing take-out. And coming up with recipes that are both easy and delicious is one of my favorite things to do, because I love showing people that using your slow cooker can help you reduce stress and improve your time spent around the dinner table. If you’re on the lookout for a new recipe that is easy to make and totally satisfying, then these Slow Cooker Chicken Meatballs with Cream Sauce are for you. 
I also want to tell you about another one of my favorite time savers that will help you get dinner on the table, spice blends. Finding just the right blend to have on hand that you can use for various recipes will keep you from having to head out for last minute grocery runs for ingredients and will simplify the cooking process. Many of you have most likely seen or even used OLD BAY seasoning. Maybe to create a delicious shrimp boil or to create a creamy chowder? But did you know that OLD BAY also enhances the flavors of so many other favorite recipes? That’s why today we are going to “Season Boldly” and use some of this delicious seasoning along with my favorite meatball recipe! 
I’ve tested and retested so many meatball recipes, and I can assure you this is one that will truly stand the test. Now, if having perfectly formed round meatballs is what you need, this may be tricky, but these will have the most flavor and be some of the juiciest and most tender meatballs you will ever make. 
When slow cooking meatballs you have a couple of choices. Either brown them first or just toss them right in the slow cooker. When you brown them they tend to hold up a little better, but other than that it’s not really a required step. The part that matters most is the taste, and by using this blend of 18 herbs and spices perfectly blended for unique flavor, you will not be disappointed. 
In fact, we are going to double up and use a little more of the seasoning to make the amazing cream sauce to go with these meatballs. Quick and easy and totally worth a couple minutes of your time. Serve it all up with some creamy mashed potatoes or your favorite noodles and you have a crave worthy dinner that was insanely simple to make!

Still no recipe showing – January 2019 =(
I can’t see the recipe
I cant see the recipe for some reason 🙁
Oh no!! I don’t know what’s happened, it seems to have been deleted. I’m going to have to look into this and get it fixed.
Still no recipe!
Is the recipe posted?
It’s fixed now! My apologies!
Your ingredient list calls for 2 1/4 teaspoons of old bay but your instructions say to add 2 tablespoons to the meat mix. I assume you meant 2 teaspoons.
you are correct!! Fixed it now 😉
I see 2 teaspoons of old bay listed in ingredients list but this comment references 2 tablespoons….
The recipe is correct. There was an error and that was being discussed in comments but it’s all fixed now.
You add 2 T to the meatballs and 1/4 T to the gravy.
