Instructions

Mince the garlic and finely dice the onion. Add to a mixing bowl along with the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix together well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Divide the meat mixture into 16 even meatballs. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, ensuring they are nicely seared.

While the meatballs are browning, add the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, balsamic vinegar, remaining chili flakes, and paprika to a crockpot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients for the tomato sauce.

Add the browned meatballs to the crockpot and stir them into the tomato sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Cook on low for four hours or until the meat is completely cooked through and tender.
