I have not posted in a LONG time but I am happy to see that my recipe is bringing good things to the table for most of the cooks! One thing to note-this is more or less a Basic recipe that can be added to, or modified that I see many have done. Also-In the original recipe, I did not note that I skim the grease-I think you need to use ground beef for the best flavor. Anyway, Happy eating!!! Hunnie :)

These were good but we also found the sauce to be lacking something.

This was pretty bland. The meatballs were good themselves, but the sauce was lacking something. I added brown sugar and worcestershire sauce which helped, but it was still missing something.

These are good, but not my favorite. I did not use the sauce in the recipe. I still make them, but I would like to find a better recipe.

This was pretty good. I made it for my husband and he said it was delicious. He did say that the sauce was not that good. I noticed there was a lot of oil in it from the meat so this may be the reason. I baked my meatballs for about 25 minutes beforehand. I also put pieces of hard boiled egg and cheese in the center of the meatballs. This is something my husbands mother does in mexico. The cheese actually melted out but the egg was fine. I also added some turkey keilbasa in there and that was wonderful. It melted in your mouth. Would probably make again but need to find a better sauce.

These meatballs are easy and awesome! I prefer smaller meatballs, so this recipe yeilds about 30 for me. I also like to place them on a cookie sheet and brown them in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Even if you choose not to brown them, they hold up well! I also use a large onion; half of it chopped in the meatballs and the other half I chop and add to the sauce. Other than that, I don't change a thing!

I really shouldn't give 5 stars to a recipe a didn't actually follow, but it deserves it with the advice from others. I only used 3/4 c. of breading + apx. 1/3 c. of parm. cheese and did bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 min. I used a standard jar and a 1/2 of spg.sauce. My husband requested 2x's the garlic next time (he actually says I over garlic everything, but not this time!) Also, I froze 1/2 of the meatballs on wax paper, on a cookie sheet and after frozen put into a freezer bag. These portions were enough to feed 10 adults (I shaped mine to be about 3/4 inch in diameter.)

I par-bake the meatballs in the oven before putting in the slow cooker. Very nice flavor to the sauce, but definately a heavy meal.

Incredible recipe! I will never make meatballs any other way! I actually made the meat balls (added parmesan, basil and garlic powder, less breadcrumb) a couple of days ago and froze them. This morning I just mixed the spagetti sauce and a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes with juice (skipped the puree and added basil, oregano, and a couple of tablespoons of sugar to cut the acidity) and added the frozen meatballs. Cooked for about 10 hours on low. Tender, flavorful, and delicious. Plenty of delicious sauce. Thanks previous reviewers, and thanks for this great recipe submission!

I love making meatballs in the slow cooker now! I use fresh garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little punch. I then add two jars of spagetti sauce and 2 bay leaves. Last 30 mins I take bay leaves out and add spaghetti and let it cook in the sauce with meatballs. Yum!

I thought this was another great crockpot recipe! I work so much and always appreciate something simple yet delicious. I read some of the reviewers mentioned not very seasoned but I took the liberty to add garlic salt and fresh garlic which really spiced it up. Play with the ingrdients! We did not find the sauce too thick at all. This will be a keeper.

I thought this was okay and nobody really complained about it, but the sauce was just a little on the thick side. Next time I would definitely leave out the tomato puree and maybe add some extra sauce. The meatballs turned out fine though.

These are really great - I make them at least once a month. The sauce is really tasty too. The only thing I do differently is to cook them in the oven for about 15 minutes to take away some of the grease, like other reviewers suggested.

I was positive I was going to love these as I rolled the meatballs, just because all the ingredients seemed perfect. They didn't exactly taste bad, but they were very mushy and a little tasteless. Very easy to make, my husband loved them, but I won't make them again unless perhaps I pan fry them in advance for a little texture. The sauce was pretty good, although I added quite a bit of extra spices and garlic.

My husband and 2 year old loved it; I thought it was pretty good but felt the meatballs could have used more seasoning. It might have been because I used regular bread crumbs but I did add 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Next time will use the seasoned crumbs or add more seasoning. I baked the meatballs for 15 min. prior to adding to sauce hoping to avoid grease in sauce but really didn't see any drippings,still had greese in sauce. I used a 26 oz. jar of sauce and a 28 oz can of pear tomato strips with basil in puree because thats what I had on hand. I added some garlic and italian seasoning to the sauce. Overall good recipe it was nice to come home from a cold night of trick or treating to!

Really enjoyed this recipe. It was great to come home from work to a nice hot meal. Like others suggested, I used less bread crumbs--I used about 1/2 c. to 3/4 c. I also added some green bell peppers to add some more flavor to the sauce. I used ground turkey to make it a more low fat meal. I cooked the meatballs for about 10 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees so they wouldn't fall apart. But, with all of these adjustments it turned out great. Oh, and I also added some seasonings to give the sauce a little more zip. Thanks Hunnie0913 for this recipe. I will be sure to use it again!
