    Instructions

    1
    |
    Mix ground beef and sausage into a large mixing bowl. (When it comes to ground meat, using your hands is honestly the best way to mix well!)
    2
    |
    In a separate small bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
    3
    |
    Add contents of the small bowl into the large mixing bowl. Mix well.
    4
    |
    Add eggs and continue to mix, and don’t be afraid to use your hands.
    5
    |
    Roll mixture into meatballs, about two tablespoons each, and place at the bottom of your slow cooker.
    6
    |
    In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all tomato sauce ingredients together and mix well.
    7
    |
    Pour tomato sauce on top of meatballs in the slow cooker.
    8
    |
    Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. (My slow cooker cooks a little too quickly, so if yours is like mine, then I’d cut the time down to 3.5 hours on high and 6-7 hours on low.

    Serve over pasta, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or a salad!
