Ingredients

1 T. olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

4-5 cloves garlic, chopped

2 ½ lbs. very lean ground beef

2 eggs

½ cup bread crumbs

¼ tsp. Red pepper flakes

1 pkg. Dry onion soup

¼ tsp. Black pepper

¼ tsp. Italian seasoning

¼ - ½ tsp. Salt

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 jars of your favorite pasta sauce (I used Ragu Robusto Garlic)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft.

Meanwhile, place the ground beef (I used Laura's Lean Ground Beef) in a large mixing bowl.

Add all the other ingredients and mix till combined.

Add the onions and garlic and mix well.

Using an ice cream scoop, place meatballs on a non-stick baking pan. You may need to use 2 pans so you can keep the meatballs 1 inch apart. You should be able to get about 18 large meatballs. (Or about 36 large walnut size meatballs if you roll them yourself).

Bake for about 30-40 min. Remove meatballs from the oven and let them cool to about room temperature. There will be a crust that forms on the pan around the meatballs, but if you use non-stick, it's a breeze to remove it.

Spray the inside of the crock-pot with cooking spray. Pour in the spaghetti sauce.

Add the meatballs and cook on low for 3 hours.
