Easy Crockpot Italian Meatballs Recipe
The easiest meatballs you will ever make! Perfect for those busy weeknights!!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs (I use gluten free)
- 1/4 cup parmesean cheese
- 1/4 cup parsley (chopped) *can use fresh, but dried works in a pinch!
- 1 egg
- 1 clove garlic, crushed or chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 jar of marinara sauce
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt and pepper together. Mix up until combined. Form small meatballs, mine are about 1/4 inch. Pour the jar of sauce into crockpot. Slowly drop in meatballs one by one. Cook on low, 5-6 hours. Serve over pasta or zoodles. My kids love this over noodles with a side of garlic bread!
Recipe Notes
*meatballs freeze well. I do not cook mine prior to freezing.
If you freeze the meatballs, follow the steps above, by pouring the sauce into the crockpot and dropping in the meatballs. Cook on low, 6 hours.
