SLOW-COOKER ITALIAN MEATBALLS



Slow-Cooker Italian Meatballs image

These meatballs taste just like your nonna's without any pre-cooking or tending to-just throw them in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. The recipe makes enough meatballs and sauce to serve with two pounds of pasta. They are also delicious over polenta, stuffed into sub rolls or as a pizza topping.

Two 28-ounce cans whole plum tomatoes
One 6-ounce can tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
1 small onion, cut into chunks
1 small carrot, cut into chunks
1 celery stalk, cut into chunks
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves

2 large eggs
3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
