Form into 1 or 2 inch meatballs. I made 24 meatballs.

Lightly grease a baking sheet. Broil meatballs on high until browned on each side. About 4-5 minutes on each side.

Add meatballs to slow cooker. Top with crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning.

Cook on low for 4 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with basil or parmesan cheese for serving, if desired.
