Nothing like making one meal and being able to use it for three nights worth of meals....
Super easy, low fat, and delicious! Here is how you do it...
Slow Cooker Meatballs and Marinara (for 2 people)
combine 1 lb. grass fed beef ( you can also use 1/2 turkey and 1/2 beef)in a medium sized bowl with 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats, 1 tbsp. garlic powder, 1 tbsp. italian seasoning, 2 tbsp. egg whites.
Divide mixture into 1.5 inch balls and place on a microwavable plate (it will yield approximatly 14 meatballs depending on size). Microwave on medium to high for approximatly 5 minutes. (don't forget to cover with wax paper or paper towel)
While in the microwave, combine in your slow cooker 2- 16 oz cans of petite diced tomatos(no salt added), 1-16 oz can of tomato sauce (no salt added), 2 tbsp. of tomato paste (to thicken the mixture), 1/2 cup of diced onion, 1 tbsp. italian seasoning, 1 tbsp. garlic powder.
Once the meatballs are finished in the microwave, individually nestle them in the sauce in the slow cooker.
Turn the slow cooker on low for 5 to 8 hours.... voila!
Here is how we do our meal plan for this recipe...
Meal 1 (the day we make meatballs): Meatball subs: We use rolls from whole foods and organic mozzarella cheese and toast them in the oven... then serve with a side salad.
Meal 2 (2 days after we make them): Whole Wheat Spaghetti with meatballs and sauce.
Meal 3 (within 1 month): After we divide up the sauce for the first two meals we put the remainder in a freezable container and use it to make a delicious pizza. The sauce will not have any meatballs left, but it will be a nice marinara.
ENJOY!
