Ingredients
Instructions
Add all meatball ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix or the meatballs will end up tough.
Form 2” meatballs using your hands and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate while you get the rest of the recipe together.
Add all the sauce ingredients to a 6 quart slow cooker and stir together. Turn on high setting.
Add the olive oil to a large 12” skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Add half of the meatballs and brown on all sides, add to the slow cooker.
Brown the remaining meatballs and add to the sauce. Toss together carefully in the sauce, cover and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6 hours).
Serve over pasta or on a sub.
