Homemade meatballs are a right of passage in an Italian family. I learned how to make me from my mother-in-law. Its recipe is for a wholegrain meat sauce, so when I want to have meatballs on weekdays, I choose a short cut and make it in my crock pot. This is not a quick meal, but an easy one, with just a few ingredients and meatballs I can prepare multiple meals if I do more, like I do.
