Steps:

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in slow cooker and stir. Set to high and cover while making meatballs, or for 30 minutes. (Or use pre-made/canned sauce.)
  • Combine all meatball ingredients except the mozzarella in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix until fully combined.
  • Take a golf ball sized piece of the ground beef mixture and place a piece of mozzarella in the middle. Press meat around the piece of cheese, fully enclosing it. Repeat until all meat is used.
  • Place meatballs in slow cooker and submerge in sauce.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-2½ hours, or until meat is fully cooked.
  • Serve by itself or over pasta.
  • Enjoy!
