This meatball recipe can cook for hours in the slow cooker /crockpot after the meatballs are browned. It's easy and low cal since the Ground Beef used is 90/10 Sirloin. We just used jar sauce but the extra spices and meat cooking in it add to the flavor. This meatball recipe can cook for hours in the slow cooker /crockpot after the meatballs are browned.
