My boyfriend loves meatballs and pasta, so I decided to test all of this “slow-cooker convenience” I am always hearing about, with his favorites and my busy schedule. The result? This amazingly delicious, fast, and simple dinner!
Ingredients
- 1lb Ground Beef
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2/4 cups bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 whole mozzarella ball
- 2 jars of sauce
Directions
- Mix together beef, egg, milk, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Scoop out the amount you would like for your meatball.
- Pinch the size of mozzarella you would like to include inside of your ball and form a ball around it with meat. (I laid the meat flat in my hand, put the mozzarella in the center, formed it around it, and rolled.)
- Put in the slow-cooker, cover with sauce.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours (until cooked all the way through).
- Serve over pasta. Enjoy!
This meal only took me 20 minutes at most, including clean up! I made the balls the night before and stored them in the fridge. Before leaving the next morning, I stuck them in the slow cooker, covered with sauce, and left! It was nice to come home to a delicious meal.

My hubby would and will love this.. It’s a great Sunday dinner!
I wish I had a slower cooker to make stews with. It would be amazing to come home and know that all I need to do for dinner is find a clean plate and fork.
I have been wanting a slow cooker for the longest time – they make everything so easy and delicious!!
