Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe

Mix together crushed tomatoes Parmesan cheese oregano basil garlic powder and bay leaf for the sauce in a slow cooker.

Place ground beef bread crumbs Parmesan cheese egg garlic powder parsley Italian seasoning and pepper for the meatballs in a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Drop into sauce in the slow cooker stir and cover.

Cook on Low until meatballs are cooked through 4 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Just before meatballs and sauce are finished cooking bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite about 12 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce and meatballs.
