Slow Cooker Meatballs

I found this recipe from allrecipes.com. It's so simple to make and assemble. I actually made the meatballs the night before so all I had to do was toss it all together in the morning. I would recommend using a flavored jar spaghetti sauce, because mine was a little too tomato based. You could also just season the sauce more with your own spices. I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 2 tbsp parsley flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped or 1 cup chopped frozen onion
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (14.25 ounce) can tomato puree

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, onion, and egg. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs.

In a slow cooker (a larger one), mix the spaghetti sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato puree. Place the meatballs into the sauce mixture. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.

Serve over spaghetti noodles with fresh parmesan cheese.
