Step 1

Combine ingredients except marinara sauce in a large bowl. Roll into spheres, about 1½ inches in diameter. This will make about 12 meatballs.

Step 2

Place meatballs in slow cooker, then pour marinara sauce all over them.

Step 3

Put the lid on the slow cooker, then cook on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 3-3.5 hours, or until meatballs measure 165°F with an instant read thermometer.

Step 4

Serve immediately over pasta, with risotto or mashed potatoes, or on a sub.
