7
There’s no need to heat up your oven or turn on your stove for these easy and healthy Slow Cooker Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs! While this delicious comfort food may look rich and cheesy, it’s actually a clean eating dinner that’s full of protein and vegetables for a nutritious and family-friendly dinner!

For the Meatballs:
1.5 lb. ground beef (I used 93% lean)
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

For the Sauce:
2 carrots, grated
1 small onion, finely chopped

1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or from a jar)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon basil
