- Shape into golf ball-sized meatballs, adding a bit more almond flour by the tsp if your meatballs are too “wet” and tough to handle.
- Place in olive oil-greased crock to prevent sticking.
- Pour tomatoes over meatballs.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 6 hours, or HIGH for 4. Best cooked low and slow!
Serve with a salad and hot bread. Mangia!
Happy Crocking!

If I add about 1 cup of grated cheese to the mix do you think the meatballs will stay formed or will they turn to mush?
1 cup cheese too much . I would say.
Can you use regular flour
Yes Carol you can, it would just not be Paleo… If this is not something you are interested in, it should work fine for you. Happy Crocking!
