Delicious and so easy ! I love my crock pot and use it all year long ! I add garlic to meatballs for added flavor! In my meal rotation ! Thanks for the recipe!!

I made this yesterday as I needed a quick dinner tonight. It is delicious. It reheated wonderfully. I served it on zoodles with a salad and warm sourdough bread.

Thank you Holly for another great dinner.

Good recipe, though made a few changes! Would make again! For my family, Italian seasoning isn’t enough so I added in some fennel seed and red wine to the sauce and used 1/2 lean ground beef + 1/2 Italian sausage into the meatballs. Was worried that the meatballs would fall apart so I browned them lightly in pan before laying them into the bottom of the slow cooker. Turned out great after almost 4 hours on high.
