Slow Cooker Italian Meatballs
These meatballs were fantastic and will definitely be going in our crockpot rotation. Slow cookers come in handy anytime but seem to be perfect for fall cooking. Some of my favorite crockpot meals are Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff and Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Mushrooms. Do you have a favorite ?
These meatballs cooked all day in the crockpot and then we ate them on pasta. We used low carb variety ,however if you are lucky enough to not always be battling your waistline , spaghetti is always great. Add a side of garlic bread and maybe Easy Antipasto Salad you have a perfect meal.
Do I Need To Brown Meatballs ?
No it is not necessary . I rolled them up raw and put them in and they were great.
