Ingredients:

1 egg beaten

1/s cup Monterrey jack or Swiss cheese

¼ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs

½ cup finely chopped onion

2 lbs. Ground beef

Sauce:

2 cups ketchup

2 tbsp. Mustard (spicy optional)

1 tbsp. Brown sugar

1 tbsp. Cider vinegar

1 tbsp. Lemon juice

1 tbsp. Soy sauce

(if making the sauce does not sound appealing or you are in a rush my favorite replacement is Kc Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce)

In a large bowl, combine the egg, choice cheese, onion, and bread crumbs. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 2 inch balls and place into slow cooker.

In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Mix well. Pour over meatballs. Cover and cook in crock pot on low for 7-8 hours or until meat is no longer pink.

Side dish suggestions: baked potato, broccoli rice, steamed vegetables, corn on the cob.
