Ingredients

 

Meatballs

• 600g pork or beef mince
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Sauce

• 1 x 500g jar passata
• 1/2 capsicum (diced)
• 2 tomatoes (diced)
• 1 onion (diced)
• 3 cloves of garlic (crushed)
• 3 large leaves silver beet or spinach (shredded)
• 1 oxo cube and 1/4C water to dissolve
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp chives
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions

 

• 1. Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together, and use your hands to form the mixture into balls as big or small as you wish. Pop into the slow cooker.
• 2. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl and pour into the slow cooker. Gently mix together with the meatballs so they don't break apart.
• 3. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or high for 2-3 hours. Remember to remove the bay leaves once cooked!
• 4. Serve on pasta or rice, with a sprinkle of whatever cheese you fancy. We also made a nice salad with veges from our garden to accompany the dish.
