Slow Cooker Greek Stuffed Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned fine breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finley chopped black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound (480 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 pound (480 g) ground lamb
  • 6 oz (180 g) feta cheese or mozzarella, cubed

Method
