Meatball Marinara

The other day I was browsing the slowcooking subreddit when the beautiful sight of a slowcooker filled to the brim with marinara sauce and meatballs caught my eye. I immediately scrolled down to the comments to check if there was a recipe. There was, but no measurements. Drat. However, I was so hungry and it [...]
