What types of food does your family like? I love to cook New Orleans style red beans in the crock pot with lots of wonderful seasonings, especially bay leaves. I do have some other books I can look in. Just let me know what types of meat or vegs your family prefers.

2 lbs. Ground Beef
1 C. Dry Bread Crumbs
2/3 C. Dry Onion
1/2 C. Milk
2 eggs slightly beaten
2 T. Parsley
2 t. Salt
1 C. Worcestershire sauce

Sauce:

24 oz. Chili Sauce
20 oz. Grape Jelly or Jam

In a medium size saucepan, simmer meat balls slowly in sauce for 1- 2 hours or let it simmer in the Crock Pot for at least 4 hours so the sauce gets into the meatballs. I prefer longer, but each person's taste is different.
