Video: McKinley coach Zaire Dorsey on winning the state title.
Video: McKinley Wins State Class A Championship
GLENS FALLS, N.Y.-McKinley beat Burke Catholic from Section IX 76-73 in overtime Sunday afternoon in Glens Falls.
Macks head coach Zaire Dorsey told Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar "I can't even describe it Stu. Its like a dream come true for my players. Its an accomplishment. I'm happy for them. Everyone is feeling good right now."
McKinley lost a lead in the fourth quarter and had to rally to win. Marcus Morris hit a three point to tie the game at 60 with 24 seconds remaining in regulation. Then with just five seconds left Sammy Smith calmly nailed two free throws to tie the game and it was headed to overtime after Burke Catholic missed a chance at the buzzer. Dorsey told Stu "the biggest key was keeping our composure when we lost that ten point lead in the fourth quarter and actually went down three. We just had to keep our composure. I reminded the guys of the Amherst game where we had a lead and we lost it and we just had to keep playing and keep fighting."
The Macks are the first Yale Cup team since Bennett in 1984 to win a championship in one of the state's two largest classes. Bennett won Class B. The last Section 6 Class A title was won by LaSalle in 1996 before there was a Class AA.
McKinley senior Lovell Smith was named MVP of the Class A Final Four. Smith had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Senior Marcus Morris was named to the All Tournament team.
The Macks aren't finished playing this season. They'll play in the Federation Championship Friday and Saturday in Albany.

The National Hurricane Center wants everyone to be able to answer three specific questions before hurricane season starts on June 1:
- What are the hurricane hazards?
- What does it mean to you?
- What actions should you take to be prepared?
The NHC Web site says hurricane hazards come in many forms, including storm surge, high winds, tornadoes and flooding. It's important for people to have a plan that includes all of these hazards, the center said. The most important thing anyone should do when facing a hurricane threat is to use common sense, according to the hurricane center.

Vice President Joe Biden Joins CHCI Swearing-In Ceremony to Welcome Hispanic Members of the 113th Congress
In a historic night for the Hispanic community, CHCI welcomed the Hispanic members of the 113th Congress at a ceremonial swearing-in on Thursday, January 3, 2013, in the East Hall at Union Station in Washington, D.C. Vice President Joe Biden participated in the program and performed the swearing-in for the Hispanic members of the 113th Congress, and newly-elected CHCI and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Rubén Hinojosa. More than 600 people turned out for the ceremony to hear from Biden, Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis, and Senator Robert Menendez. Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart served as celebrity emcee and the event was hosted by Time Warner Cable.
"It's no longer about what can be done for the Hispanic community," said Vice President Biden. "The question is what the Hispanic community is going to do to take this country to a totally new place."
"Hispanic Americans have come such a long way, and that progress is evident here tonight," said Chair Hinojosa. "I am very excited by the enthusiasm of our incoming freshmen members of Congress. They electrified this past election. Their energy is contagious and their stories are inspiring. They bring decades of experience, new ideas, passion and commitment and will be invaluable to the success of the CHC and the CHCI.
CHCI welcomed the largest class of Hispanic members of Congress in our nation's history with 36 members of Hispanic descent elected or returning to Senate and House seats in January. The Latino community played a pivotal role in the November elections on a national level and in state and local races all around the country.
"On Election Day, a new America, a diverse 21st century America showed us just how the political and demographic landscape has changed, and that change is now reflected throughout the halls of Congress and through a renewed focus on achieving immigration reform that reflects both our interests and values as Americans," said Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey. "Now is the time to work together to find common ground and move forward. I congratulate our newest Hispanic members of Congress and look forward to working with them on the issues of our day."
"Because of CHCI, the 113th Congress will see a record number of Latinos," said Hon. Hilda L. Solis, U.S. Secretary of Labor. "This is an exciting time for our community. We know that on everything from population growth, to consumer power and political muscle, we continue to be a force to be reckoned with. And we know that our American family will only be as strong as our growing Latino community."
"Congratulations to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute for having the largest representation of Latinos serving in Congress in our history," said Hon. Ken Salazar, Secretary of Interior. "I commend outgoing Chairman Charlie Gonzalez for his leadership and look forward to working closely together with incoming Chair Rubén Hinojosa and all the members of the CHC during the 113th Congress on the critical issues that affect the Latino community."
CHCI is the only national Latino organization that offers a wide range of programs and activities to support the educational and professional aspirations of Latino youth from high school through graduate school and into their chosen careers. CHCI programs serve nearly 1,700 young Latinos annually. Many are first in their family to go to college, and the majority comes from families with annual incomes below $30,000. CHCI's unique model of educational services and leadership development – promoting college readiness, supporting college attainment and providing direct access to the most powerful network of Latino leadership – helps ensure career success and has put thousands of young people on a pathway to achieving the American Dream.

CANTON With time running out on a program funding one year of school for unemployed veterans, plenty of space remains.
That is why SUNY Canton Military and Veteran Student Service Coordinator Patrick S. Massaro is working to funnel veterans into the federal Veterans Retraining Assistance Program before the spring semester starts.
Were trying to make sure all veterans have knowledge of the program, he said. The program is one of those whether you are working with the Department of Labor or speaking with a VA official, not too many people know about it.
The program, part of the VOW To Hire Heroes Act of 2011, began in July and extends to March 31, 2014. It pays for up to 12 months of financial assistance by making $1,564 monthly payments available to degree-seeking veterans enrolled in a Veterans Administration approved full-time program.
A portion of the funds are dedicated to technical education, said Mr. Massaro, and SUNY Canton is the only school in the region to fit within the programs regulations.
Students who are interested in taking advantage of the program should apply as soon as possible, he said. This upcoming year will be their last chance to use the VRAP.
The program was never intended to be long-lasting, but instead to serve as a catch-all for unemployed veterans as their ranks swell due to economic downturns and the draw down of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
There were 45,000 slots available in the program this summer, with an additional 54,000 openings created in October.
They have accepted 62,000 participants, said Mr. Massaro. That means currently there are over 36,000 spots open to interested students.
About a dozen students at SUNY Canton are taking advantage of the program, but Mr. Massaro hopes to boost that number.
I believe in the push method of information, he said. I push it out to everybody I possibly can. I send it to the county and the state, I send it to veterans groups, I send it to the education center at Fort Drum. It is basically a large veterans network you get the information out there and hope it gets passed along.
To qualify for the program, veterans must be between 35 and 60 years old, unemployed, ineligible for any other VA educational benefit and not enrolled in any other federal or state job training program. They also must have been honorably discharged.
Mr. Massaro was hired earlier this year as a shared military and veterans affairs coordinator for SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam. SUNY Canton was recently named among the top military-friendly colleges and universities by Military Advanced Education magazine.
I think the creation of my position itself speaks volumes to both institutions desire to help out the military and become military friendly institutions, he said. We are currently instituting all the programs to show we are military friendly, and to thank people for their military service.
For more information, contact Mr. Massaro at (315) 386-7073, or email massarop @canton.edu.

THOUSAND OAKS, California (KNBC) -- You'd never know it by looking at 11-year-old Adolf Baguma. On Thanksgiving morning, he piloted a bicycle down a residential street in Thousand Oaks, California not a care in the world, a toothy smile on his face.
But Baguma's young life was marked by tragedy and cruelty in his native Uganda.
Orphaned at a young age, he was seriously burned by a teenaged aunt, who threw flaming banana leaves on the backs of his legs as punishment for trying to take some food.
He was 5 years old.
The aunt then ran away, leaving Adolf to fend for himself, begging on the streets of the city in which he had been born.
Destitute and forgotten, he lost the use of his legs because the damaged skin behind his knees fused together -- the result of not getting treatment right away.
By the time he turned up at a Ugandan orphanage, he was unable to walk, crawling across the floor to stay mobile.
"I don't know how this boy survived," said Eva Mbabazi, one of the orphange's caretakers. "He lost his mother; he lost his father. He doesn't have anyone to help."
A kind-hearted Southern California man decided that needed to change.

MASSENA - The villages code enforcement officer will have continue to wait to find out if he will keep his job.
After additional discussions in lengthy executive session Tuesday, the villages Board of Trustees once again tabled a decision on the reappointment of Code Enforcement Officer Gregory Fregoe.
Mayor James F. Hidy said the board might meet before its next regular meeting Feb. 6 to decide the fate of Mr. Fregoe, but hadnt yet chosen a time to further discuss it. Were still in a fact-finding mode here, he said.
Mr. Hidy said Mr. Fregoe would remain the code enforcement officer until the village board voted on his reappointment.
After giving his report to the board Tuesday, Mr. Fregoe asked the board whether he would be stay on at his post. Mr. Hidy told him they would discuss the matter in executive session.
The board did not reappoint Mr. Fregoe to his post at its reorganizational meeting in December. He has been working on a day by day basis since that time. Mr. Fregoe has indicated village officials have not discussed the issue with it and had not told him he wasnt to be reappointed prior to the organizational meeting.
If the village chooses not to reappoint Mr. Fregoe, it would rely on firefighters trained in code enforcement to take over his duties.
Were exercising our options on whether to continue with (Mr. Fregoe) or to filter in (firefighters trained in code enforcement), Mr. Hidy said previously.
Career Firefighters Department Foreman Ken McGowan and fellow career firefighter Aaron Hardy completed New York state code enforcement training in early November. They join career firefighter Bill OBrien, who had previously received the training.
Two additional firefighters, Jeremy Lefeve and Matt Tuper, are trained as code compliance technicians, and Walt Bean will finish this training later this month, Mr. McGowan said.
A code compliance technician is trained in enforcing the fire and property maintenance codes, but is not certified in other code enforcement officer duties, such as issuing building permits or inspecting new construction projects.
Mr. McGowan said hed not been in discussions with village officials over the possibility of taking over Mr. Fregoes duties, but noted it was something they had been preparing for.
We assumed wed be taking over when (Mr. Fregoe) retired, but weve had no concrete talks on taking over code enforcement, Mr. McGowan said.
Mr. Fregoe has served as the villages code enforcement officer since 1999.

Two incumbents and a pair of challengers moved on to the Nov. 5 general election after they became the top vote-getters in Tuesdays primary for Watertown City Council.
As a result of the primary, the field was narrowed down from six candidates to four, with incumbents Teresa R. Macaluso and Jeffrey M. Smith as the top vote-getters. Political newcomers Stephen A. Jennings and Cody J. Horbacz also made it through the runoff Tuesday.
Two other political novices Jasmine W. Borreggine and Rodney J. LaFave failed to make the field and a chance to be elected in November.
Ms. Macaluso, running for a second four-year term, said afterward she was surprised she got more votes than the other five candidates. She received 575 votes, according to unofficial results and before absentee ballots are counted.
I still have a lot of work ahead of me, she said.
Mr. Smith, who has been on the City Council for 10 years, and Mr. Jennings came within two votes of each in their second and third finishes. Mr. Smith received 454 votes while Mr. Jennings had 452, according to unofficial results.
Mr. Horbacz placed fourth with 342 votes. Rounding out the field were Mr. LaFave, with 262 votes, and Mrs. Borreggine with 246.
Voters could choose only two candidates. Elected offices in the city are nonpartisan; any registered voter can vote in the primary.
Turnout was low, with just 1,262 people going to the polls and 174 turning in absentee ballots out of the 11,918 registered voters. Thats a turnout of 12 percent.
Noting it can be difficult with such a large field of candidates and low voter turnout, Mr. Smith said he was just glad to put the primary behind him. He looks forward to campaigning hard for the general election.
The goal is to move forward, he said.
Mr. Jennings said he was a bit surprised to come so close to the veteran council members vote totals.
I think the goal is just for all six candidates to move forward, he said.
Mr. Jennings, the Jefferson County public health planner and public information officer, joined the race after a movement was started to eliminate fluoride from the citys water supply. So far, council members have not made a decision.
Mr. Horbacz said he likes his chances for November.
I am very satisfied, he said. All I could hope for is to go on to the general election, and I did. Im very excited.
He got involved in the race after expressing displeasure with the so-called roommate law that the council passed last winter, which involved regulating rooming and boarding houses in Residential A districts.
With such low turnout, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said, it seemed as if voters were not seeking change, but things could change drastically in November, when more people go to the polls. He also would not call it a sweep-type thing for the more well-known incumbents.
During the primary campaign, the Jefferson County Board of Elections made a mistake with the ballots. They indicated residents could vote for four of the six candidates when actually they could vote for only two.
To correct the problem, new ballots were sent out to absentee voters. The Board of Elections mailed out 299 corrected ballots, and 174 corrected ballots were returned.

This week will go down as one of pride for the Frank Phillips College Baseball program, as three former Plainsmen were drafted in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft.
Former Plainsmen outfielder Chris Grayson was drafted in the 13th round with the 414th overall pick by the Texas Rangers after posting a .364 batting average with 51 RBIs during the 2011 season at Lee University in Tennessee.
Grayson's teammate, and former Plainsmen, outfielder Jonathan Clark would go in the 17th round, at the 522nd pick, to the New York Mets.
A Chicago native, Clark finished the 2011 season with a .323 batting average with 22 steals on 29 attempts at Lee University.
The ties between Frank Phillips College and Lee University could continue to be strong over the next couple of years with Plainsmen Head Baseball Coach Jared Gaston being a former player for the Lee University Flames as well.
Lee University is located in Cleveland, Tenn., and is affiliated with the Church of God denomination.
The other former Plainsmen to be drafted was Oklahoma State University pitcher Brad Propst, who was picked up by the Houston Astros in the 38th round with the 1,150th pick.
Propst, an Amarillo native and Randall High School graduate, spent one season with the Plainsmen with most of his time on the field at shortstop before making the move to the mound for the Oklahoma St. Cowboys.
Propst was 7-6 this season with a 3.66 ERA.
Overall the 2011 MLB Draft featured 14 players with WJCAC ties getting picked up including: Tigers-Tyler Collins, Howard; Rangers-Connor Sadzeck, Howard; Astros-Miles Hamblin, Mississippi (Howard); Padres-Burch Smith, Oklahoma (Howard); Brewers-Brandon Williamson, Dallas Baptist (Midland); Rangers-Nicholas Sawyer, Howard; Braves-Nick Popescu, Texas Tech (Howard); Nationals-Derrick Bleeker, Howard; Dodgers-Reid Redmond, Texas Tech (Midland); Mets-Clint Sharp, Howard; Orioles-Devon Conley, New Mexico JC.

Magnetic Buckyballs toys discontinued
The popular Buckyballs and Buckycubes magnetic desk toys will be discontinued, its manufacturer said, blaming what it called "baseless and relentless legal badgering" from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
"It's time to bid a fond farewell to the world's most popular adult desk toys," Maxfield and Oberton, the maker of Buckyballs, said on its website this week. "That's right: We're sad to say that Balls and Cubes have a one-way ticket to the Land-of-Awesome-Stuff-You-Should-Have-Bought-When-You-Had-the-Chance."
A limited number of the toys are still available, but no more will be made after they sell out, the company said.
In July, the Consumer Product Safety Commission sued Maxfield and Oberton in an attempt to get the company to stop selling the toys, saying they are hazardous to children. When children swallow the powerful magnets, they can pierce holes in the intestines, the commission said, and some children have required multiple surgeries and lengthy hospitalizations. Since 2009, officials said, there have been at least a dozen ingestions of the Buckyballs magnets.
"We're doing this to keep children safe," commission spokesman Scott Wolfson said in July. "We want to prevent future surgeries."
At the time, Maxfield and Oberton spokesman Andrew Frank said the company would "fight this vigorously," noting that while "some people have misused the product," the toys were marketed to those aged 14 and up, and carry warning labels.
But "we made a tough decision after a lot of thought based on how to protect the integrity of the business, the brand, and begin to move forward," Frank said in an e-mail Friday. "It was time for our team to start focusing on the future and providing innovative products for our loyal customers. We will continue to fight the CPSC and sell our other products."
Wolfson did not immediately return a call from CNN seeking comment Friday.
Last month, the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition said warning labels on the magnetic toys were ineffective. The group released the results of a new survey of more than 1,700 doctors, who reported at least 480 toy magnet ingestions in the past decade, with 204 occurring in the past year.
"The numbers have skyrocketed post-labeling," said Dr. Mark Gilger, a pediatric gastroenterologist who helped author the study. "There's just many examples of people ignoring the labels, or people who haven't paid attention to them bringing them to their home inadvertently."
Gilger said young children sometimes think the toys are candy, and older children and teens sometimes use the toys to mimic jewelry such as tongue or cheek piercings.
Frank last month defended Maxfield and Oberton's efforts to keep the toys away from children, and the company said in a statement it does not sell its products to children and has a strict policy of not selling to stores that do sell toys exclusively to kids.
The statement also noted the company's efforts to educate its customers, including an informational safety website it developed. The company said it has strongly advocated for a public education campaign sponsored by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, as the commission has done with other products that posed risks to children.

have you ever used a beef gravy instead of the tomato?
- December 17, 2011 at 10:49 AM

@Amie, enjoy! :-)
@mrs.missalaineus (LOL, love the name) no, I haven't. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your results.

Am definitely going to try this! Thanks!

This looks wonderful! Have you ever done a porcupine meatball recipe, gluten free, in the crockpot?
- December 17, 2011 at 2:13 PM
- Nicole said...
What exactly is Panko style vs regular old bread crumbs? I just wondered because these crumbs have egg in them and we need to be egg-free as well as GF but I would love to give this a try because it seems so simple and easy (something I need!).

- Stephanie O'Dea said...
@Linda, I haven't but my mom did and they fell apart on her. I'd like to try her recipe with the flour/freezing method---I bet we'd have good results.
@Nicole, you're right, these Kinnikinnick have egg powder in them. In this recipe, the regular breadcrumbs will work just fine. Panko crumbs are larger, and flakier and make a nice crispy coating for chicken nuggets, etc. But they certainly aren't a must. Here's more info for you on panko vs. regular breadcrumbs.

Great recipe. Will definitely have to try this week.
- December 18, 2011 at 5:28 AM
This sounds so yummy. What can I substitute for the Parmesan (we are dairy free too!)?
- December 18, 2011 at 6:22 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
@Rowansslavegirl, I'd just omit it. there's plenty of flavor.

Just wanted to let you know that your blog has been a lifesaver since I started working full time. I keep kosher, so I can't make a lot of your recipes (such as this one), but you've inspired me to be creative with the crock pot. I'm going to try this method with the meatballs with my regular recipe tomorrow. Hope it comes out good...
- December 18, 2011 at 7:25 AM
- Jen + Jeff said...
Yum! My husband will love these. Thanks.

This looks great, definitely going to try it, as I love meatballs but find it's easy to make them tough when browning them in a frying pan the usual way.
One thing I'm slightly concerned about is putting the frozen meatballs straight into the empty crock. The manual for my CrockPot says that if you're putting frozen food in it, to put a bit of liquid in the bottom first - is there any reason you can't put the gravy in first so as to ease the thermal shock and prevent the crock cracking?
- December 19, 2011 at 4:55 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi @Catt, you should absolutely follow the manufacturer's instructions--always. Putting a bit of gravy down is a good idea.
On Crock-Pot's website, and in their manuals, they suggest using room-temp liquid or slightly warmed when cooking with frozen food. That's what I do when I use a frozen roast, etc.
The concern is "shocking the crock" (could cause cracking) and the worry that the frozen food won't come up to a safe temp soon enough. These newer pots get up to speed really quick, but the older ones took quite a while.
- December 19, 2011 at 7:04 AM
- Jacki said...
Can you freeze them once they're cooked and use them as needed?
- December 19, 2011 at 10:55 AM
- Kristi S said...
Thanks for this recipe! I can't wait to try it!
- December 19, 2011 at 11:55 AM
i only have a 4qt. how do i convert this size and time wise? i really want to make it!!
- December 20, 2011 at 8:51 AM
- Jessica said...
Hi - I was wondering if I could put all of the ingredients, including the stock/gravy parts, into a freezer bag with the frozen meatballs and just throw everything into the crockpot at once. Or do I need to add them separately at the time of cooking?
- December 21, 2011 at 11:40 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
@Jessica, good question. Yes, sort of. :-) If you go this route, thaw the bag overnight in the fridge before putting the ingredients into the cooker. You're not supposed to just start cooking a big block of frozen food. If you're using frozen meat, the rest of the ingredients should be room-temp or slightly warmed.
This is for food safety, and to not "shock the crock" which could crack.
hope this helps a bit, steph
- December 21, 2011 at 12:06 PM
- MusingMaidel said...
OK - so I tried my regular meatball recipe with your method, and it came out HEAVENLY. They stuck together perfectly - probably the first time I ever made meatballs that stayed real balls. Thanks for your inspiration! I will definitely be making them this way again.
- December 22, 2011 at 6:32 AM
- Peachtree said...
Just a tip on getting meatballs to hold their shape; I put my meatballs on a cookie sheet and bake them for 15 minutes (at 350). They brown nicely and stay together well. I can get 3 pounds worth onto a cookie sheet, then I freeze the extra for later.
I like the sound of your method too, and want to try it and see the difference!
- December 22, 2011 at 4:56 PM
- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
I love the no browning method! I am eager to try these, thanks!
- December 23, 2011 at 5:30 AM
Oh my goodness. Had them for lunch, loved them and I am not even a meatball lover!!. I put a few more bread crumbs in b/c I only had a approx a lb of meat and they were a real hit with my meatball loving husband. Made them last night, popped them in the freezer overnight and into the slow cooker early this morning. Used my some beef stock from a roast I cooked a few days ago mixed with the tomato paste. Delicious. I will definitely try them again.
- December 24, 2011 at 8:42 AM
- Sarah Marie said...
Awesome meatballs!! Definitely a keeper!!
- December 26, 2011 at 2:41 PM
I made these for Christmas Eve supper with my family and they were amazing! My GF hubby was really happy that he could have some :) I used ground chuck (it was on sale) and I think next time I will try a leaner cut because the gravy was a little greasy. They still tasted great though!
- December 28, 2011 at 5:17 AM
- Laurie Campbell said...
I'm just wondering if these meatballs need to be cooked in
this type of sauce (tomato paste and broth) or if one could
add more, like more veg and tomatoes etc. and still have it work..
Any ideas or input would be appreciated - one recipe I saw lately
was on Nate Berkus:
In a large bowl combine ground beef, ground veal, ground pork and ground chicken. Set aside.
In a food processor mix 2 oz. each, fontina cheese, Reggiano parmiagano cheese, sharp provolone and Asiago cheese chopped very fine in a food processor and add this to the meat mixture.
In a food processor start vegetable mixture - one medium size carrot, one large onion, six cloves garlic, one large handful each basil and flat leaf parsley.
Heat three tablespoons of olive oil in a medium size pan over medium/high heat. Add vegetable mixture - the carrot, onion, garlic, basil, and parsley - and add one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon pepper and one tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes or until very tender.
Add half of the sautéed vegetable mixture to the meat mixture and place in the refrigerator covered, the other half set aside.
Heat 1/4 C olive oil over medium/high heat and add the remaining half of the sautéed vegetable mixture to that add 4-24oz cans crushed tomatoes, and 2-24 oz. whole peeled tomatoes with juice.
Let the sauce cook for at least 20 minutes.
This type of sauce - what do you all think - any input would be appreciated!
- December 28, 2011 at 2:28 PM
- Sarah said...
Meatballs in the crockpot are amazing! I have some German meatballs and sauerkraut in mine right now. I've never tried popping them in the freezer first though. Great idea. Mine sometimes fall apart a bit. I'll have to try that next time.
- December 30, 2011 at 10:36 AM
We are trying to avoid beef for ground chicken or turkey. Any ideas whether they would stay together? Would you go with an extra egg or a little olive oil?
Thanks, love using the crockpot for things like this since my husband is of the "food can't touch" school of thought so soups and stews are just for me.
- January 3, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Oh yeah ... I am going to make these with the ground turkey in have defrosting...yippee!! Thanks for continuing to share these cool recipes!

We tried and it tastes even better than it looks
- January 7, 2012 at 9:33 AM
I have the same question as Jackie-will this keep in the freezer longer than overnight? Maybe a couple months? Sounds like something I could make a couple batches of and have in freezer bags. (I'm not sure where I get a user name from...my name is Angela).
- January 7, 2012 at 8:51 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi @Angela and @Jackie--
I don't see why not! I haven't tried to do so myself, but if you plop the frozen meatballs into a freezer bag, they should be just fine for 4 months or so in the freezer. Make sure to label the bag so you know the meat is raw! :-)
- January 8, 2012 at 9:15 AM
- Healthy Branscoms said...
I gave you a shout out on my blog! :)
- January 8, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Thanks! I'm going to make a double batch today and freeze them. I wasn't sure if the bread crumbs/flour would get soggy long-term. I'm newish to freezing stuff like this.
- January 8, 2012 at 11:40 AM
- Kethryvis said...
i've got these in the freezer right now. i'm thinking of breaking them into smaller groups and throwing them in my mini-crock with some marinara sauce! i'm thick into writing my stupid master's thesis, and stuff like this i can throw in and ignore for a while until my stomach makes enough noise for me to surface is awesome.
- January 11, 2012 at 3:46 PM
- Kelly C said...
We loved these. I mixed up a double batch and froze in small groups to add to various recipes on busy nights. We have already had them as sandwiches and in spaghetti. I particularly like the flavor the fresh parsley adds.
- January 12, 2012 at 2:39 PM
- Manke girls said...
Since this makes a ton of meatballs, do you think you could just freeze (and then bag in the freezer) all but the few you'll want for the night's dinner?
- January 15, 2012 at 12:56 PM
- Watercolors by Susan Roper said...
I am late in responding to this post, but I wanted you to know that I love this recipe! I changed it based on what I had on hand, but it still came out wonderfully rich and tasty. I didn't have fresh parsley but had cilantro and that was good to use. I also used regular bread crumbs (from homemade bread I dried) and that was good. What was the real kicker for us was that I used the frozen chicken stock (from your recipe a few years ago) only this batch was made from the bones of smoked chickens. The smokiness of the stock enhanced the bacon (inspired idea to add chopped bacon to this recipe!)flavor and everything was just fantastic.
We ate leftovers for a few days, and with each day came even nicer flavor blendings. I will definitely make this again and again.
- January 16, 2012 at 6:23 AM
Can I flour after freezing, before they go in the crock? I forgot that part and they are already frozen.
- January 19, 2012 at 10:53 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Peg,
I haven't done what you describe myself, but if I was in your situation I'd give it a try-- you can be our guinea pig! :-)
Most crockpot recipes are pretty adaptable and leave a lot of wiggle room, which I appreciate!
- January 19, 2012 at 11:14 AM
- Jeanne-Marie said...
Made these yesterday and added a little red wine to the sauce - SO yummy! We all - including 2 year old - loved them. Next time I'll mix up an extra batch and leave them in the freezer.
- January 20, 2012 at 8:29 AM
- Kat said...
I'm not sure how I missed this one but I'm glad I found it now. These look fantastic! I am going to be going to the store tomorrow to pick up those items that I am currently missing - ie hamburger for one so that I can put these on!
I'm thinking these will be great for the crazy days coming up soon (the ever fun tax season) I hope they freeze well - if so I could be making this more than once (or going out to get another crockpot!)
Thanks for sharing.

I Feel so safe to cook that meat balls, you always sharing an easy recipe to cook.
- February 6, 2012 at 5:04 PM
When i decided to make this, i had to clean out and organize the freezer because i rarely ever really use ground beef regularly. After finding a pound of ground round from the farmer's market, i found an unmarked bag of approximately half a pound of mystery meat, so i decided to go ahead and throw it in. I mean, it's meat, right? Once i defrosted it, it turned out to be some leftover breakfast sausage from the thanksgiving stuffing. From over 6 months ago. Oops. So i threw it into the meatball mix. Otherwise, i followed the recipe to the letter. I cooked 10 of the meatballs and put the rest in a freezer container for storage. I try to cook only serving sizes of food, because leftovers rarely get eaten in our house. And it keeps us from overeating, most of the time. These turned out great, and the bacon gave it this amazing flavor! I was really worried that the sausage would make the meatballs too greasy and fall apart, but they held together really well. I do wish they'd browned a little more than they did, so maybe next time i'll prop open the lid for the last hour? Otherwise, phenomenal recipe!

I love meatballs (so much so that I used to squeal out a little yay when I discovered they had meatballs on the menu at work). Just ordered my first crockpot which should arrive tomorrow so am looking forward to trying these and have a feeling that I'll be returning to your blog for some inspiration :-)

Can this same technique be used for porcupine meatballs? Would I need to cook the rice first or leave it uncooked like I do the stovetop version?

- Beth Poss said...
If I cook for longer than 5 hours will they still stay together? I am at work for 8 hrs, plus and hr drive on each end, so it would be for ten hours. I do have a timer my crock pot, but then it would either be defrosting on the morning end or sitting out ion the afternoon end. What do you think?
- November 25, 2012 at 12:19 PM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Beth,
You know, I wouldn't chance it. The pots that have the timers built in will flip over to warm and I'd think that would be okay, but the lamp timers just don't work the same way.
I'm sorry. I'm worried you'll either come home to mush or overly dry and burnt meatballs.

These are the best meatballs ever! I previously made them for a dinner party and made them to serve alongside vegetarian pesto lasagna for Christmas dinner this year! We ate the leftovers for a couple days after and they were still delicious. I like that I can prep these the night before and leave in the freezer overnight so there's less prep the day you cook them. These would also be perfect as the star ingredient in meatball sandwiches.

- JodyM said...
Darlin Stephanie...1st LOVE THE SHOCK COMMENT! Haha! You definitely dont want to shock your crack mind make it crock! Haha. Im trying to follow your guidance on freezing prepped food for future use. Am becoming little more disabled and need easy things to do. This meatball recipe would be perfect. I know this sounds like a ridiculously easy thing to know but once I do the freezing to get them to set up, can I throw them in a ziplock for future use? I tried to do this before and put them all in at same time and ended up with a giant meatballish looking slab. Would this make it so they would be more like they come in the store? What would you recommend to store long term in? Also do you have a good crockpot sauce that isnt sweet that I could can and store on shelve? Store bought is convenient but soo full of sugar and garbage. I like a more... Unsweet.. Whats the word... Savory? IDK. Im getting into that too. Would love a good slow long cooking sauce that I dont have to chug insulin after eating. Nuttin but love my crock lovin sistah!
- September 20, 2013 at 6:19 PM
- JodyM said...
Oh good gravy! Got it backwards! Sorry! You dont want to shock your CROCK and make it CRACK! Although I cant imagine shocking your crack could be anymore enjoyable or thrilling. :)
- September 20, 2013 at 6:20 PM
- Stephanie ODea said...
LOL, Jody!! yes! you can freeze them separate on the cookie sheet and then store them in a ziplock to cook in the crock in the future. PLEASE label the bag clearly so you know there are raw meatballs in there!
as for the sauce; I don't have a recipe off hand to recommend. I'm sorry. I'd probably take a few tablespoons of plain tomato sauce from a can and add some brown sugar and ginger and maybe some soy sauce and then taste my way through it....
I'll keep thinking, though!!
- September 21, 2013 at 7:01 AM

Hi, I just made them....DELICIOUS!!! soft flavor, so easy, I changed the tomato paste for a Hunts Parmesan and garlic sauce. Greetings from Mexico!!!!

I've been trying for ages to create a good meatball recipe for the slow cooker. I was determined not to brown them first as I am a fan of plop and go methods. This may be my lifesaver. Just a note to readers though; I saw in a few comments that people were defrosting meat and then using this method. It is a big no-no to refreeze defrosted raw meat! Sorry, but I had to mention it. Thanks again for a great recipe!

On this day, that has been set aside to honor our Veterans who have died, I feel that Memorial Day has become nothing more than a three-day weekend. For decades, Memorial Day was a day in our nation when stores closed and communities gathered together for a day of parades and other celebrations with a patriotic theme. Memorial Day meant ceremonies at cemeteries around the country, speeches honoring those who served their country, the laying of wreaths and playing Taps. . . not off to the mall, riding dirt bikes out in the sand or laying around watching TV. Sadly, many Americans have lost the connection with their history.
All too many Americans today view military service as an abstraction, as images seen on TV and in the movies. For a growing percentage of American people, Memorial Day has come to mean simply a three-day weekend or a major shopping day. Families might still gather for picnics, but for many of them, the patriotic core - the spirit of remembrance - is absent.
We can all make a difference with our individual acts. When we find a grave that has no flowers, leave one and say a prayer for the family of that person, who for some reason could not bring their soldier or family member flowers. It is important that those of us who understand the importance of our history, who understand the importance of the values of our Army, that we act to help reconnect the American people to the American soldier. Because of soldiers:
1 may think as I please.
1 may speak or write as I please, so long as I do not interfere with the rights of others.
1 have the right to vote. By my vote, I choose the public officers who are really my servants.
1 have the right to choose my work, to seek any job for which my experience and abilities have fitted me.
1 have the right to try to improve my lot through various means.
1 have the right to a prompt trial by jury if I should be accused of a crime.
1 may seek justice in courts where I have equal rights with others.
1 have the privilege of sharing in the benefits of natural resources of my country.
1 may educate my children in free school.
1 have the right to worship as I think best.
1 have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
On Monday the Utah lawmakers approved a plan to redistrict the seats of the United States Congress in Utah.
The plan approved by the Utah Legislature on Dec. 4 was different than the alternatives presented to Carbon County citizens about a week ago when the state's congressional redistricting committee visited Price.
"When it came right down to it, this was a much better alternative than plan A that was approved in 2002," said Brad King, who occupies the district 69 position in Utah House of Representatives. District 69 encompasses two-thirds of Carbon County.
"The plan that was approved had a few changes from the preferred ones the committee presented here, but that didn't change anything for Carbon County," added King.
Plan L would give Utah what amounts to an "urban" congressional seat. The plan would take in much of Salt Lake County and put in parts of Summit, Davis and other urban areas into district two.
Although the Utah Legislature approved the state's plan on Monday, late Tuesday it appeared that the speedy redistricting process the state pursued was probably for naught. The matter was reportedly not included on the agenda of the three-day sessions scheduled in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives this week.
Presently, a bill sponsored by Rep. Tom Davis, a Republican from Virginia, would give Washington, D.C., a seat in the U.S. House. To balance out the representation, Utah would get a fourth seat. The reason for the "balance" is that it is assumed that the D.C. seat would be Democratic and the Utah seat would be Republican.
While the idea of a new seat for Utah is dead for the current year, it probably will be resurrected in the next congressional session.
Davis is returning and new U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi, said she still supports the proposal.
However, passage of such a bill still faces numerous obstacles.
Some state officials are notsure that the plan is the way to get Utah a fourth seat or whether the approach is constitutional under the details of the bill.
"It appears to me that things will change because of the growth in Utah in 2012 anyway," said Patrick Painter, who represents the western part of Carbon County in district 67 at the Utah House.
"When the new census is done, redistricting will probably take place. And even if this passes now, we will be looking at more changes in the boundaries for the fourth seat then, too," continued the district 67 representative
Painter said he could see several pros and cons about making the change before the next census, which is used by the federal government to determine state populations and ultimately the redistricting of the U.S. Congress.
"We have to look at a move like this in the long run," noted Painter. "If the Washington, D.C., area gets a seat in the House, does that mean eventually they should get two Senate seats, too? Every state that has a representative in the House has two senators as well."
Painter said he believes that the U.S. Capitol was set aside in various ways by the country's founders to be a type of independent "umpire" for the states of the union.
"I have to say that it would be interesting in Utah if a fourth seat were approved, though," commented Painter.
The interest comes from the fact that, in a sense, there would be a vacuum created by the fourth congressional seat's creation.
Presently, Congressman Jim Matheson represents a geographically significant area of what the new third congressional district would contain.
Matheson's home in Salt Lake City, under the new plan, would be in district two.
Because of the changes in the state's plan, there would have to be an election to determine who represents all four districts and that would mean literally there would be no incumbents.
Under the plan, with district three including all of the eastern and southeastern part of the state as well as a significant portion of Utah County, a new candidate could emerge to represent the area.
Representative Chris Cannon, who presently represents the third seat in Utah, would live in the new district. But he could face strong opposition from other members of the Republican party that would live in that area, along with a strong Democratic challenger.
Cannon faced strong opposition for his U.S. House seat from Democrats in the last election. Some Democratic strongholds in the state would be added to the new district three.
However, traditionally Republican Utah County would have more than 350,000 potential voters in the district and would make up 66 percent of the electorate.
For King, the representative's entire state district would be within the new seat. Painter would have some of his present representation in congressional districts three and four.
Utah Sen. Mike Dmitrich's district 29 representation would also be entirely in the new district three.
Who the congressman is in each district can affect state representatives.
"I knew when we went into this that having Congress do much with it was a long shot, and I wasn't sure about it," said Dmitrich in a phone interview on Tuesday morning. "But now that we have approved a plan, I think it was the right thing to do. It will help us when we come to 2012 and have to look at changes in the state and representation."
The redistricting committee members reportedly came to Price with the attitude that they liked the idea of having a rural-urban mix in every district.
But when it came down to the final hours, the rural-urban mix in the second district disappeared.
"I don't think that was a bad thing though," said King. "The fact the rural areas in three districts have increased clout is a good thing. But the fact remains that no matter what we as a legislature did, it had to be some kind of compromise."
