I wanted to make Swedish Meatballs and Scalloped Potatoes but was too lazy to do both so I combined the two into this concept dish for the slow-cooker with delicious results! The photo was taken about halfway through; as the potatoes cook, the sauce thickens up beautifully and the sides of the casserole achieve that lovely brown crust as if baked in an oven.

How to make it
- For the meatballs:
- Mix all ingredients together until homogenous. Shape into small balls, about an inch in diameter. In frying pan, in minimal oil over medium high heat, SEAR until outsides are well browned. Do NOT cook through! Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soup, sour cream, beef broth, paprika, onion powder and black pepper. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, dissolve about 1/2 t. cream of tartar in about a cup of water. Add potatoes and toss together (this keeps them from darkening later on). Drain. Add drained potatoes to soup mixture and toss until all the potatoes are well coated. Spoon 1/2 of the potato mixture into a crock pot sprayed with nonstick spray. Top with 3/4 cup of shredded cheese and half the meatballs. Repeat layer with remaining potatoes and cheese and meatballs. Cook on HIGH for 3.5 to 4.5 hours (or on LOW 7 to 8 hours).
