Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef or a mix of beef and pork
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef (or beef and pork mix), breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the meatballs in the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the meatballs.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, give the sauce a gentle stir. If you’d like it thicker, you can mix in a cornstarch slurry.
