Italian-Style Slow Cooker Meatballs

These meatballs are as simple as throwing all of the ingredients in a bowl together, mixing, browning and slow cooking. You don't even have to make the marinara sauce (unless you want to)! What's even better is that these meatballs can be made ahead of time. I like to shape the balls and either refrigerate them (if I'm using them sooner rather than later) or freeze them for a month or two before I know that I will need them. They are great in a buttered roll, on top of spaghetti, or all by themselves!
