Meatballs in the crock pot

Meatball Subs – Crock pot

Sauce Ingredients:
2 large cans of crushed tomatoes
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp basil
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup parsley
1 medium onion
Meatball Ingredients:
2 eggs – beaten
¾ cup milk
2/3 cups bread crumbs (or crackers)
¼ cup chopped onions (or just onion power 2TBS)
2 tablespoons parsley
½ teaspoon each of sage, basil, and oregano
1-1½ pounds ground beef
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
6 Hoagie Rolls

Sauce Directions:
Chop onion in to fine pieces and put all ingredients into crock-pot.
Cook on low for 6 hours.

Meatball Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, and seasonings
In another bowl mix meat and breadcrumbs (I use my hands for best blending)
Combine both mixtures into one bowl. Add more bread crumbs if needed to thicken mixture. It should be slightly gooey, but hold together when rolled into balls.
Roll into golf ball sized balls and put in crock pot. Between each meatball, run hands under cold water to keep mixture from sticking to hands.
Cover each layer of meatballs with sauce before starting next layer.
Cook in crock pot on low for 6-8 hours. (if making sauce from recipe above at the same time, no need to cook separately, just cook all at once.
Cut open hoagie roll and insert 4-6 meatballs, Sprinkle cheese across top.

Enjoy!
