If meatballs aren't covered in liquid, add water until they are. Cover pot and bake at 325 for ~3 hours, or until done. Stir halfway through if you can do it without breaking the meatballs. If you can't, leave them, but make sure they're completely covered by liquid. (add more water if necessary). With maybe 30 min cooking time left, thicken the gravy with flour (dissolve in water first).
