  3. Carefully stack the meatballs in the crockpot, ensuring spaces in between for even cooking.
  4. Pour the beef broth over the meatballs until fully submerged.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 6 hours until the meatballs are tender and juicy.
  6. Gently remove meatballs from the crockpot using a slotted spoon. Arrange them on a serving platter and spoon some of the savory sauce over the top.
