Place the meatballs in a crock-pot and have them cook all day while you’re at work. I’ve never been the most “exact” chef, so please note that these measurements are estimates. I love adding in a little zucchini to fool my kids into eating more veggies! This crockpot  recipe for Stealthy Zucchini Meatballs is a real crowd pleaser!
