Which is the better way to cook meatballs?
Im making meatballs from scratch, when I make them in the slow cooker, I can't use the sauce because its loaded with all the fat (I use lean meat), should i brown them a little in a pan first , that way i would be able to drain some fat.
Answers:
cook them in the oven at 350 for about 30 to 40 mins in a glass baking dish, be sure to spray the inside with olive oil to prevent sticking. Also use a low fat ground beef, something like 93/7 from the fresh meat dept at your store. You could also try mixing half low fat beef and half ground turkey. You will never know the difference.
You can then drain the fat from the glass dish and finish off your sauce in the slow cooker after the meatballs are done.
