Recipe type: Slow Cooker
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 4 tablespoons fresh parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 to 1½ cups Italian dry bread crumbs
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped (I used dried basil instead of fresh)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (I used dried parsley instead of fresh)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 oz. fresh mozzarella, divided into 12 pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 jars of your favorite red sauce
Instructions
  1. Mix the first 11 ingredients together in a large bowl. Don't over mix because your meatballs will turn out tough, but just mix it enough to where everything is combined really well.
  2. Form the meatballs and press a hole in the center of each with your thumb.
  3. Insert a piece of the mozzarella cheese in the hole and then pinch the meat over the hole and roll to fix it back into "meatball" shape.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil into a skillet and brown meatballs. Remember, you aren't actually cooking the meatballs, just barely browning them.
  5. Transfer meatballs to your slow cooker.
  6. Pour in spaghetti sauce and cover.
  7. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  8. Serve over pasta.
