Home made meatballs are a right of passage in an Italian family. I learned how to make mine from my mother in law. Her recipe is for full blown meat sauce, so when I have a desire for weekday meatballs, I take a shortcut and make them in my crock pot. This is not a quick meal, but it’s easy, with few ingredients and meatballs can make several meals if you make extra, like I do.

This is everything you need for these wonderful meatballs. This makes about 28 to 30 meatballs so you will end up with some extra depending on how many subs you make. Freeze them on a cookie sheet so they don’t touch and toss them in a freezer bag for another time.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ C breadcrumbs
  • ¼ C Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp. Minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 8 mini hoagie rolls
  • 12 slices asiago cheese
