Steps:
- Cover and cook: Secure the lid to your slow cooker and let it cook for as little as 5 hours on high or as many as 8 to 10 hours on low.
- Serve: Serve these over spaghetti, on a hoagie bun for a meatball sandwich, or as a party appetizer on their own. If you want to thicken the sauce, you can transfer it to a skillet set over medium-high heat and reduce it until it reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce has some fat floating on the top, just stir it in.

SLOW-COOKER ITALIAN MEATBALLS
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.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Pour the tomatoes into a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and crush by hand. Stir in the tomato paste, olive oil, oregano, pepper flakes, garlic, bay leaves and 2 teaspoons salt.
- For the meatballs: Place the onions, carrots, celery, parsley and garlic in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a large bowl and add the beef, pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (you should get about 20 to 24) and nestle into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 7 to 8 hours. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
ASIAN-INSPIRED PORK MEATBALLS WITH PINEAPPLE IN THE SLOW COOKER
I'm a fan of potstickers and this pork meatball mixture makes me think of the potsticker filling. I used a small slow cooker, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients if yours is larger. Serve over coconut rice (I used "Easy Coconut Jasmine Rice" from Allrecipes).

Steps:
- Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic in a large bowl for the meatballs. Knead gently with your fingers to combine. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours for flavors to meld.
- Peel pineapple and cut into 3/4-inch rings. Core rings and cut each ring into 1-inch wedges (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add pineapples to a slow cooker.
- Roll pork mixture into 12 to 16 balls and place into the slow cooker.
- Combine water, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour over the meatballs. It is okay for the liquid to not completely cover the meatballs.
- Cover slow cooker and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours, or on High for 3 hours. Remove pineapple and pork balls with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
- Stir cornstarch into the sauce, whisking until well combined. Add pineapple and meatballs back into the slow cooker and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a bowl and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
