- 1 tsp. horseradish
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

- Combine ground beef, ½ cup onions, Italian bread crumbs, eggs.
- Make the mixture into small meatballs.
- Then fry or bake the meat.
- In saucepan combine remaining ingredients.
- Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Put meatballs and sauce into slow cooker/Crock Pot.
- The sauce should cover the meat.
- Allow to simmer in slow cooker/Crock Pot for at least 3 hours, however, the longer you let them simmer, the better they are!
- Cooking them 6 to 10 hours on LOW temperature is great.
- Stir them occasionally. You may wish to add more ketchup, or V-8 juice - spice them up if you like them hot.
