  2. Form the mixture into meatballs and place them in the Crockpot.
  3. Pour the beef broth over the meatballs.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the meatballs and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Serving

  2. Present the meatballs on a beautiful platter with fresh herbs for garnish.
  3. Pair them with crusty bread or serve over rice for a complete meal.

Notes

Enhance the flavor with a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Customize the cheese by trying different varieties like mozzarella or Parmesan. Serve with a side salad for added freshness. Can use frozen ground beef but thaw first for a more even mixture.
