Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Italian Meatballs

Ask and ye shall receive. At least in the case of crock-pot slow cooker recipes. I love getting emails from you awesome readers (well almost all of you – there is this one person  ehem … ) telling me you made something and loved it, asking me where I purchased an item, asking for more of a certain type of recipe.  Lately I have been inundated with requests for more crock-pot slow cooker recipes.

Perfect timing because I’ve partnered with Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers to bring you a few recipes using their new Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker WeMo Enabled. What does that mean? It means that it works with your smart device (Android and Apple) to let you easily adjust cook settings … from virtually anywhere. Technology is (most days unless it locks me out of something) awesome.

It’s a pretty amazing crock-pot slow cooker. Want to see it in action? Watch the video below.

“The Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker enabled with WeMo® is everything that you love about Crock-Pot® Slow-Cookers taken to the next level. If you have been looking for a great reason to get a new Crock-Pot® Slow-Cooker–this is it! This Slow-Cooker features a roomy 6-quart capacity that accommodates large families or dinner parties, It has an oval shape that fits roasts and large cuts of meat, and the glass lid helps trap in heat and moisture. Once cooled, the Slow-Cooker cleans up easily. Wipe down the heating base’s exterior with a damp cloth and place the removable stoneware and glass lid in the dishwasher.

With the Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker enabled with WeMo® you get brand new benefits that enhance your slow cooker experience.

The app provides options to monitor remaining cooking time, change your cooking temperature, adjust cook time up or down, shift to WARM setting and turn off. You have the assurance that, no matter where you are, you have dinner under control. “

You can have these meatballs prepped an into the crock-pot slow cooker in about 10 minutes. Then set it and forget it. They’re that easy.

We’re working with the bigger is better concept (I think I might call them Texas Sized Meatballs) for this recipe BUT if you’re looking for a smaller bite just use a smaller cookie scoop. Easy peasy. Once cooked you can stretch these meatballs into several meals. LIKE: Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatballs Subs OR put a few into an oven-proof bowl, top with mozzarella and bake until melty and delicious.

Now who wants a meatball? They’re kinda hard to resist.
