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.
