Equipment
- Slow Cooker

- 3/4 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese *I use freshly grated

- 2 tbsp Italian Seasonings
- 2 24 oz Jars of your favorite Marinara Sauce *Or you can make your own!

Instructions
- Prepare your slow cooker! Line the pot with a plastic liner for easy clean up, and pour 1 jar of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the cooker.
- Combine: meats, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, onion, egg and seasonings into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix until well blended.
- Form 1 inch "balls" and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Makes almost 3 dozen at the 1" size.
- Broil in oven for 8-10 minutes. Meatballs should have a slight "crust" on the surface.
- Gently remove the meatballs from the baking pan and place into the slow cooker on top of the sauce.
- Pour second jar of marinara sauce over meatballs. DO NOT STIR! Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. High for 4-6 hours.
- When done, pour over your favorite pasta dish or make meatball sandwiches! Then enjoy!
