### **Ingredients Needed:**
– 1 lb ground beef (or a mixture of ground beef and pork for extra flavor)
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup milk (or as needed to bind the mixture)
– 2 cups marinara sauce (or your favorite sauce)
– Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
### **How to Make Slow Cooker Meatballs:**
#### **1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture**
Start by placing your ground meat in a large mixing bowl. Add in the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in the milk slowly, adding just enough to bind the mixture together without making it too wet. Mix everything well with your hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly combined.
#### **2. Roll the Meatballs**
Once your meatball mixture is ready, roll it into **two large meatballs**. Depending on how large you want them, you can make them roughly the size of a grapefruit. The larger the meatball, the longer it may take to cook, so keep that in mind. Make sure the meatballs are smooth and compact to help them hold their shape while cooking.
#### **3. Add Sauce to the Slow Cooker**
Pour your marinara sauce (or any sauce of your choice) into the bottom of the slow cooker. This will help keep the meatballs moist and prevent them from drying out during cooking. Make sure the sauce covers the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a nice base for the meatballs.
**4. Add the Meatballs**
Carefully place your rolled meatballs into the slow cooker, gently nestling them into the sauce. You can spoon a little extra sauce over the top of the meatballs if desired, ensuring they are well-coated.
