Tender & DELICIOUS Crockpot/Slow Cooker Meatballs
Tender crockpot meatballs filled with herbs and spices that come together to create an ultra-satisfying, EASY, and fun meal idea.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef or ground bison
- 1/2 cup almond flour or oat flour
- 2 Tbsps Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsps finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 Tbsps finely grated Parmesan cheese
- sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tsps dried basil
- 1 large egg
- 1 x 24 oz jar crushed tomatoes, or marinara sauce
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 Tbsps grass-fed butter or ghee, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl add your ground beef or ground bison, flour, Worcestershire, parsley, parmesan, sea salt, pepper, dried basil and the egg.
- Stir to combine, then form the meat mixture into small (around 1-1/2-inch diameter) meatballs. I like to use a cookie scoop for this.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with a tiny bit of avocado or olive oil. Sear the meatballs just until they start to become golden brown, just a couple minutes.
- Meanwhile, in your crockpot, stir in the crushed tomatoes or marinara with garlic, onion, and butter.
- Transfer your meatballs, in a single layer, into the crockpot and gently stir with sauce.
- Cover your crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-2 1/2 hours. (I prefer the results of using LOW setting).
- Garnish with additional shredded parmesan and fresh parsley if desired and enjoy!
