Easy Crockpot Meatball Recipe Ingredients
Don’t let the list of ingredients scare you when making this meatball recipe. You will love how easy this crockpot meatball recipe is to make! Most of the ingredinets are pantry staples and easy to have on hand. The crockpot meatball recipe is the perfect way to make meatballs and can be done all in the slow cooker!
Ground Beef – Make sure to use lean ground beef. If the beef is too fatty, the sauce will turn out very oily. Not a huge fan of ground beef? Feel free to try ground pork meatballs, ground turkey meatballs, or ground chicken meatballs too! We will often do a mixture of both ground beef and pork to make them more tender. Onion – In this recipe instead of dicing the onion, you grate it with a cheese grater. This creates small, thin pieces of onion that keep the meatball texture super smooth. Panko Breadcrumbs – Panko breadcrumbs help to bind the meatballs together. I like using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. Parmesan Cheese – Parmesan cheese adds flavor and helps to bind the meatballs together. Try to get grated parmesan instead of shredded for the best texture. Eggs – Eggs add moisture and help bind the meatballs. Milk – Milk helps the meatballs stick together and creates a juicy, soft texture. Garlic – Freshly crushed garlic cloves are the best, but you can use the minced garlic from the jar. Spices – I keep it simple with this recipe and just use kosher salt, black pepper, and oregano. If you want to go a little further, then you can add basil, fresh parsley, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Sauce – For this recipe, I used our own Homemade Canned Spaghetti Sauce but you can use your own recipe or just store-bought spaghetti sauce. No matter what you use, it is going to be awesome. Even store-bought spaghetti sauce will be kicked up a notch because the meatballs will be cooked in it, giving it an incredible flavor.

Once the meatballs are cooked in the crockpot place them individually on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for a few hours or until frozen. Once frozen, gently remove them from the baking sheet and place them in airtight bags or containers to store for three months long. When ready to reheat, place it in the oven or slow cooker to make it once again.
