2 Ingredient Slow Cooker Meatballs

My friends love all of my meat dishes and make my meatball recipes all the time. I wanted to create an awesome easy recipe that would pack big Italian comfort food flavor with just 2 ingredients.  Sausage links were the winner for these amazing meatballs. All the hard work is done for you. They are already seasoned with warm fennel, my best friend garlic, sweet oregano, and other familiar  flavors. Living in fabulous NYC I love making this for parties because the slow cooker doubles as a serving dish. This is amazing because it frees up space in my small kitchen. I am so excited for you to try this recipe and can’t wait to see what you think!

Party Tip:

• Make a day or two ahead. Leave in slow cooker and the day of the party take out of fridge. Turn slow cooker on warm setting 1 hour before party to heat up.
• To make more fun use some spicy Italian sausage and some sweet Italian sausage.
• Mix with pasta for easy dinner for crowds!
