Ingredients

1
lb
ground beef
1
lb
hot Italian sausage
1
cup
Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2
eggs
½
cup
grated Parmesan cheese
½
cup
milk
½
cup
chopped fresh parsley
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
1
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
pepper
2
lbs
Mozzarella cheese
cut into 1 inch cubes
1
Jar marinara sauce or 1 batch of my homemade marinara sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, garlic powder, eggs, salt, and pepper.
Once mixed, crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage over the mixture and gently mix to combine. DO NOT OVER-MIX.
Form the mixture into golf-ball-sized meatballs around one mozzarella cheese cube. I get between 12-16 meatballs.
Once all of the meatballs are formed, spray a crockpot with non-stick cooking spray and ladle a small amount of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Place the meatballs into the crockpot, overlapping if necessary, then cover the meatballs with the rest of the jar of marina sauce.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours or until cooked through.
Serve over marinara-tossed spaghetti and garnish with fresh julienned basil and shredded parmesan cheese.

Notes
You may substitute sweet Italian sausage for hot Italian sausage.
I do not recommend using fresh mozzarella for these stuffed meatballs.
