Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground pork
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
5 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
Rustic bread (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine pork, 1/4 cup onion, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, breadcrumbs, eggs, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon, gently mix to combine and, using your hands, roll into 25 meatballs (each 1 1/2 inches wide).
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. In 2 batches, brown meatballs on all sides, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer meatballs to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add remaining onion to skillet; cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer onion to slow cooker, along with 1 teaspoon paprika and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low until meatballs are tender, 5 hours. Serve with rustic bread if desired.

These meatballs were easy to make and so delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I served them over mashed potatoes and they were a hit with my family.

I made these meatballs for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I served them with toothpicks so that people could easily eat them. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce and they were much better. I also served them over rice and they were a hit with my family.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they are always a hit! I love that they are so easy to make and that they can be made ahead of time. I usually serve them over rice or pasta, but they would also be great on their own.
