Cajun Meatballs


This is a great recipe for a party or you can spoon it over your choice of pasta for a great tasting spaghetti and meatballs. The Cajun seasoning gives just enough kick to make it noticeable but not hot. You’ll wow them with this one and that’s always groovy!

ingredients

    4lbs lean ground beef
    6 large eggs
    16 oz  bread crumbs
    1/3 cup Italian seasoning
    1/3 cup Cajun seasoning
    96 ounces Pasta sauce (three jars or the equivalent amt of home made) (16 ounces set aside for mix) The rest for the crock pot

Place ground meat in large bowl,
add bread crumbs and seasonings, then eggs and begin mixing/kneading of all ingredients

Add pasta sauce slowly so you don't make it mushy, it should be firm and sticky

When thoroughly mixed (be sure there are no hidden pockets of spices) begin forming into 1 to 1 1/2 inch meatballs and placing on a shallow baking pan (I usually spray mine with cooking spray first cause I'm lazy)

Bake in pre heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes

Let cool 15 minutes

Pour enough sauce into crock pot to cover the bottom and begin placing meatballs in continue adding meatballs and sauce til pot is full.

Heat and enjoy! Makes 45-50 meatballs
