Italian Meatballs
These are very flavorful meatballs, take very little time to make, and freeze well.
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Shape mixture into balls and place on shallow baking pan (makes about 24 meatballs). Broil until slightly brown (this takes just a few minutes, so don't stray too far from your oven). Turn meatballs and brown other side for another few minutes until fully cooked.

The Best Spaghetti Sauce
I have been on a mission to find the best spaghetti sauce recipe for awhile now and with some tweaking, I think I've finally found a keeper. This recipe makes a huge batch, but it's super easy (especially since you use a slow cooker) and it freezes great. Bon appetit!
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 lb sausage
2/3 cup onion, chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 - 18 oz cans tomato paste
4 tomato paste cans water
1/3 cup dry red wine
4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
In a large pan, crumble and cook ground beef, pork, and sausage until brown. Drain off fat. Combine cooked meat mixture and all of the remaining ingredients in a large slow cooker. Cook 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. And don't forget the Italian Meatballs!

Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 30 cookies.
I found the recipe here on cooks.com.
