Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add ground beef and all ingredients (except marinara sauce). Combine all ingredients until the meat mixture has all ingredients evenly distributed.
  2. Heat broiler to high. Move rack to 4 or 5 inches from broiler. Cover baking sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Using your hands, shape the meat into about 1 to 2-inch sized meatballs, and place onto foil-covered baking sheet.
  4. Broil meatballs for 3 to 4 minutes. Then turn them and broil for about another 3 minutes, until browned.
  5. Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Place meatballs in the bottom of a slow cooker. Spoon marinara sauce over the top of the meatballs.
  6. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours.
  7. Serve meatballs hot on top of pasta, or on a submarine sandwich, or by itself as an appetizer.
