Tips:

  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Let the meatballs rest: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze.
  • Cook the meatballs on low: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, and cooked spaghetti are all popular choices.
