Tips:
- Use lean ground beef. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the meatballs.
- Add some bread crumbs to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and make them more tender.
- Season the meatballs well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Brown the meatballs before adding them to the crock pot. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the meatballs.
