5Gently place meatballs on top of sauce - do not stir!
6Replace lid and cook on low for approx 4-5hrs

Notes
1I used a 6L Morphy Richards
2Resist urge to touch meatballs at all until at least the last hour so they remain firmly intact. I only flipped them over gently in the last hour then left them again.

My 3 boys absolutely demolished this! This recipe will be a firm favourite in our house from now on and will get a workout during football season. Yummm!

Thank you for creating this site. I am really enjoying. I only just bought a slow cooker as I don’t have an oven. I wish I had known about automatic turn off function.

Delicious – I used Pork & beef mince & doubled the sauce. Great to serve with salad & crusty bread.

Absolutely amazing meal right here, no more Subway for us 🙂 We used 2 jars of Leggo’s chunky tomato,garlic and herbs bolognese instead of tinned tomatoes because I didn’t have them in the pantry and 2 big Tbs of tomato paste and 1kg of pork/veal mince which made 38 meatballs. Cooked on high for 2.5 hours and served on super subs for the adults and vietnamese rolls for the kids… Perfect 10 out of 10 from everyone here! Thanks for another great recipe Paulene 🙂

This is delish! My four kids and hubby wolfed it down and asked for more. Perfect for when friends come over or for the kids before busy, after school activities.

Very quick and easy meal. I used 500g pork mince and 500g veal mince plus 2 cans ardmona tomatoes with mixed herbs. I served on soft long rolls with grated cheese, cucumber, red onion and baby spinach.

Easy and not too many ingredients to make this dish. The pork and veal mince comes like that in a tray. I had everything I needed in my pantry. I added extra tomato paste , half a finely chopped onion and crumbled a half chicken stock cube to enhance the tomato sauce flavour. You can use this to add to pasta, make meatball subs adding some grated cheese on top.

I love this recipe. I just wish the veal mince wasn’t so expensive ☹
