Method
 

  1. Combine ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Roll into meatballs about 1 tablespoon or 1 ½ inches in size.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, condensed tomato soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and sugar.
  3. Spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Place the meatballs inside, (it's ok if they overlap) then pour the sauce over top.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours or High for 3 1/2 hours, until the meatballs are tender and the rice is cooked through.
  5. Spoon over mashed potatoes, noodles, or serve with crusty bread to soak up all that sauce.
