Imagine tender, juicy meatballs, simmered to perfection in a rich and fragrant tomato sauce. This recipe offers a comforting and flavorful experience, perfect for a satisfying meal any day of the week. The meatballs themselves are crafted from a blend of ground meat and seasonings, creating a savory foundation that complements the vibrant sauce beautifully.

Each bite delivers a burst of flavor, enhanced by the slow-cooking process that allows the meatballs to absorb the essence of the spiced tomato sauce. The sauce is a symphony of tastes, starting with the sweetness of ripe tomatoes and building to a complex profile with aromatic herbs and warming spices. The slow simmering not only melds the flavors together but also creates a luscious texture that coats the meatballs perfectly.

It's a sauce you'll want to savor, perhaps with a spoon long after the meatballs are gone. These meatballs offer incredible versatility. Enjoy them as a delightful appetizer, served with a dollop of creamy ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil.

Instructions

    1.
    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.
    2.
    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.
    3.
    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.
    4.
    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.
