Spaghetti and Meatballs is a taste from my childhood I’ll never lose, so when I saw this recipe for Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs made in my other favorite thing in the whole world, my trusty crockpot, I could not believe my luck, I had to make them immediately and luckily I had just enough time to make this flavorful extravaganza happen in time for dinner. The directions were ever so easy and I always keep frozen ground beef on hand from Costco or Sam’s Club and you know I always have plenty of my delicious tomato sauce on hand, because I can’t live without that! The ingredients were so simple as well, I knew this recipe was going to be a slam dunk win for my family’s taste buds.

Ingredients:

Sauce:

• 7 cups diced tomatoes
• 1/3 cup onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt

Meatballs:

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 pound of mild sausage
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup onion (chopped)
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 eggs
• 4 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut into 4 to 5 even pieces each)

Directions:

First, add all your sauce ingredients to the crockpot and cook for 30 minutes on high (no pre-cooking necessary).

Then add all your meatball ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix well with a spoon.

Then when you make your meatballs add a chunk of your Mozzarella cheese to the center of each one.

Then add meatballs to the sauce in the crockpot and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.

I hope you enjoy this delicious meatball recipe as much as my family has!
