Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 2 lbs ground beef I use 80/20
- 1 egg large
- ½ cup gluten-free flour or bread crumbs
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese optional, grated
Meatball Sauce:**
- 1 pasta sauce 24-oz. jar, quality
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 crushed tomatoes 28-oz can
- ½ cup parsley fresh
- ½ cup basil fresh
Instructions
- Lightly spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray (this helps for easy cleanup).
- Mix all of the ingredients for the meatballs together in a mixing bowl until well-combined. Form 24 meatballs out of the mixture and place them on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Mix all of the ingredients for the sauce together in a large mixing bowl, then pour it into the slow cooker over the meatballs.
- Cook on HIGH heat for 4-5 hours or LOW heat for 6 to 8 hours.
- Serve meatballs over gluten-free pasta with fresh grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
- Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze meatballs for up to 3 months.
Notes
- *You can also use regular Italian bread crumbs or gluten-free bread crumbs
- **Use two (28-oz) jars of your favorite tomato based pasta sauce instead of making your own if you’d like.
