I found this recipe in a slow cooker cookbook. When I made this I used cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom and I baked the meatballs at 400 for 15-20 min instead of frying them in oil. The recipe calls for 15oz of dry gravy mix. I couldn't find a package that large. I used 2 small envelopes instead. Overall the flavor was very good. The lemon peel gives the gravy a nice hint of citrus.
