SLOW-COOKER ITALIAN MEATBALLS
These meatballs taste just like your nonna's without any pre-cooking or tending to-just throw them in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. The recipe makes enough meatballs and sauce to serve with two pounds of pasta. They are also delicious over polenta, stuffed into sub rolls or as a pizza topping.

MEATBALLS WITH SALSA VERDE
Every cook in Mexico has her own recipe for meatballs, or albóndigas, but we have to admit, this recipe for Meatballs with Salsa verde is one of our favorites! Salsa verde, or green sauce, is a popular Mexican salsa made from whole tomatillos, onions, jalapeños and garlic. Salsa verde has a fresh, tangy and slightly spicy flavor. The meatballs, made with equal parts ground beef and ground pork, are perfectly seasoned, then cooked directly in the Salsa Verde, where they absorb all of the wonderful flavors and become plump, tender and juicy. They're so good; we suggest making a double batch!

Steps:
- Step 1 To blender, add tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeños, chicken bouillon and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth and well combined. Add tomatillo sauce to large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with Adobo, keep warm. Step 2 Season beef and pork with Adobo. In bowl, combine meat, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, cilantro and oregano. Mix thoroughly. Step 3 Using palms of hands, roll 1 heaping tablespoon meat mixture to form round ball about size of walnut. Repeat with remaining meat mixture to form about 24 meatballs. Step 4 Add meatballs to reserved sauce set over medium-low heat. Cover pot and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 25 minutes, gently stirring and adding water in 2 tablespoon measures if sauce evaporates below tops of meatballs. Serve with cooked white rice or pasta.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground beef chuck and ground beef round. This will give you a juicy, flavorful meatball that's not too dry or greasy.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs. This will help prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
- Brown the meatballs over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meatballs and keep them from falling apart.
- Simmer the meatballs in salsa. This will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
