Fremgangsmåte

Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to mix thoroughly

Scoop out about 1 golf ball sized meatball mixture, roll it in your hands to make a meatball. I used an ice cream scoop

Grease a baking sheet and arrange meatballs on them. Broil at 500 degrees F for 8 minutes or until browned and fat has melted through

Transfer meatballs to a 5-qt. slow cooker and pour in marinara sauce

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours

Serve with pasta, demi-baguettes, baguettes, Italian rolls or any kind of bread you like

Freeze the remaining meatballs for future dinners!

Over medium high heat, saute the onion and garlic in some oil until translucent and fragrant

Pour in marinara sauce and add the remaining ingredients

Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste
