Mediterranean Meatball Ratatouille image

Measure and chop most of the ingredients the night before, and the next day it'll take you just a few minutes to have everything in the slow cooker. Before, when I didn't care for sausage, I would substitute ground beef. Also, if you don't like eggplant, you can increase the amount of mushrooms or zucchini. Update 8/16/07: I just made this using my new slow cooker, and I found it didn't require more than 4-5 hours on low to cook.
