This is pretty close to my standard recipe, too. I use whatever I have on hand as the "filler", whether it be bread crumbs, oatmeal, cracker crumbs, leftover cooked rice, etc. One thing I always had trouble with was that they tended to fall apart once they were in the crockpot with the sauce. On the advice of a friend, I tried rolling the raw meatballs in flour before browning them in oil. This method really helps! I make a huge batch of them, making sure they're cooked through, then line them up on jelly-roll pans and stick them in the freezer. Once frozen, they can go into zip-lock bags and be handy for whenever I need a quick dish.
