Perfect Meatballs and Spaghetti

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
1 large onion, small dice
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg beaten
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
3 tablespoons garlic from a jar
2 14.5 cans diced tomatoes
5 15 ounce cans tomato sauce
1 6 ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, sweet basil, and parsley
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Method

Make your meatballs by combining the first six ingredients together. Form into 1 inch balls. Put a sheet of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, place your meatballs in a single layer, and bake 350 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until just starting to brown, turn them once. While your meatballs are cooking, put all remaining ingredients in a disposable slow cooker liner. Right before you go out the door, put your filled slow cooker liner in your slow cooker with the meatballs, set on low, and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
