Fairwell Family Secret Meatball Recipe

Ingredients

Sauce

• 2 (14 ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes

• 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin
• 1/4 cup margarine or butter

Meatballs

• 3-4 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, diced finely
• 1 teaspoon fennel
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice

Directions

1. 1

   Mix tomatoes, pumpkin and butter in bottom of crockpot. Turn crockpot onto low with lid off.

2. 2

   Mix the remaining ingredients together in a mixing bowl and form large 1-2 inch meatballs.

3. 3

   After forming each meatball, place on top of sauce in crockpot. Will eventually have a pyramid of meatballs.

4. 4

   Cover crockpot and leave to cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.

5. 5

   I like to drain a little of the fat after 3 hours of cooking.

6. 6

   Serve over your favorite pasta or rice mix. Thick enough to serve alone as main course.

7. 7

   Feel free to try different variations of your favorite herbs such as Italian seasoning, etc. The flavor from the meatballs will seep into the sauce.

8. 8

   Thick enough to make meatball sandwiches.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
