Slow Cooker Italian Meatballs And Sauce

"These Slow Cooker Italian Meatballs and Sauce are an easy and delicious dinner you can make in the slow cooker. Make your own spicy meatballs and tomato sauce to add a kick to spaghetti night. When you cook meat in the slow cooker, make sure to thaw any frozen meat before cooking it. This is because unthawed meat in a slow cooker will promote bacterial growth. It’s also a good idea to brown the meatballs in a large skillet before cooking them in the slow cooker to improve the flavor. Serve meatballs and marinara sauce with spaghetti, in a sub or hoagie, or enjoy them on their own. Your family will love this flavorful meatball and homemade tomato sauce recipe! They’re a great comfort food and the best meatballs ever!"
