Start by introducing the recipe and mentioning it is a slow-cooked beef meatball with cauliflower rice.

Use frozen riced cauliflower from Trader Joe's or another source.

Combine 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork in a large bowl.

Add 2 cups of frozen cauliflower rice, 2 whisked eggs, 1 cup of chopped kale, 1 cup of diced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients together until loosely incorporated, avoiding overmixing.

Use a quarter cup measuring cup to form meatballs, ensuring they are uniform in size.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the meatballs for 5-10 minutes until browned on all sides.

Prepare a large Crockpot with a mixture of pasta sauce and water.

Add the seared meatballs to the Crockpot and set to cook for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally if possible to maintain liquid levels.

Once cooked, serve the meatballs with a sprinkle of asiago cheese or fresh chopped parsley.
