Do you make homemade meatballs? or frozen?

At the time that I posted that I was eating whatever frozen meatballs I could find at the store (because I hated cooking!) ... but I have since found this recipe (and became addicted to them) and now I make them myself ...

Parmesan Meatballs

1.5 lbs Ground Beef

3/4 C Shredded Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

1 tsp Dried Parsley

Dash of Pepper

2-3 T Butter

15oz Can of Tomato Sauce

1 Clove Garlic

1/2 tsp Onion powder

1/4 tsp Basil

1/8 tsp Oregano

Combine beef, cheese, eggs, parsley & pepper until well mixed then shape into meatballs. Melt butter in a large skillet and cook until all sides are browned. Place browned meatballs in the crock pot or a casserole dish suitable for the oven.

Combine the tomato sauce, garlic, onion powder, basil & oregano. Pour over the meatballs, stirring gently to coat.

Turn crock pot on low for 1-4 hours OR bake, uncovered in an oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

**I make them in the crock pot and although the recipe says 1-4 hours, I let them cook on low for 6-7 hours ... they turn out really tender and oh so yummy!**

Oh my the recipe sounds fantastic

I'm wondering what the carb count is? I started my self-imposed one month pre-op low carb diet today, and those sound like they'd really be yummy and low carb. How many meatballs do you make out of that recipe?

Well, at first glance, the only thing I see that has substantial carbs is the can of Tomato sauce. And even then, it has minimal impact considering it's just a "topping" of sorts and not an actual ingredient in the meatballs. The shredded parmesan also has minimal carbs.

I think I might be cooking meatballs in the crockpot tomorrow afternoon!
