4. Add passata to the crockpot, then meatballs, mushrooms, and zucchini. Mix gently. Cover and cook for 3 hours on high or 4 hours on medium.

Notes

Don’t add any water because zucchini gives a lot of water. Don’t open the lid too often, because the heat goes out and it takes longer. Good with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice or crusty bread. Keep leftovers in a fridge up to 3-4 days.

Total time: 3 hours 20 minutes to 4 hours 20 minutes.
