Crock Pot or Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef lean
1/2 cup onion grated
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups spaghetti sauce

Instructions

Combine all ingredients (except spaghetti sauce) until well-mixed. Mixing together with your hands works great.
Spray the bottom of the crockpot with cooking spray. Form into balls using your hands or a small cookie dough scoop. You want them to be slightly smaller than a golf ball. Place meatballs in the pot, layering them if necessary. It's okay if they touch, just don't squish them too much.
Pour sauce over the top of all the meatballs.
Cook on high for 3 hours. Serve over noodles or in meatball subs!
