Beef Crock Pot Meatballs

recipe from Maureen B.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesean cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup chopped parsley
mozzarella (or 5 sticks mozzarella string cheese)

Cut low moisture mozzarella cheese into 3/4 inch cubes. Store in fridge while preparing the meat.

Mix all above (except cheese) in large mixing bowl. Roll golf ball sized balls with the meat mixture. Squish mozzarella cube into the center and pull the edges of the meat ball around it to form new ball again.

Arrange meatballs in slow cooker and cover in tomato sauce. Cook on high for 2-2.5 hours.

Makes about 28-30 balls. Serve with pasta and garlic bread.
