On to the meatballs 🙂

Meatballs are a very satisfying, fitness-friendly dish that’s filled with superb nutrition. Since these protein-packed meatballs are low in carbs, serving a few over a bed of greens is the type of meal that will keep you on track with your fat loss goals.

This winning recipe for Slow Cooker Meatballs is tender, moist and flavorful. It takes a little effort in the morning, and then the meatballs simmer all day long while you are off enjoying your day. The recipe calls for ground lamb, however feel free to sub for any ground meat of your liking. Enjoy!
