- Arrange the meatballs in the hot oil and cook for about 15 minutes, frequently turning to brown all sides.
- While the meatballs are browning, prepare the vegetables. Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Chop the celery and onion.

- Add cornstarch mixture and frozen peas or edamame (and tofu, if using) to the slow cooker, stir well.
- Re-cover and cook on high-heat setting an 30 additional minutes.
- Serve with hot cooked rice.

SLOW COOKER MEATBALL STEW
Easy and tasty recipe. Original came from the Pillsbury SlowCooker Book. I've slightly modified it to suit our tastes. This isn't overly hot but has some nice bit of spice flavour. For added kick, you could add one tsp of dried chili peppers. **May9, 2008 - it appears not all slowcookers are the same so I have made a small adjustment with the addition of water to the recipe. My cooker doesn't require this but it appears to be a minority! So give it a whirl and then adjust recipe to suit yours.
