Gooey Butter Cake

My youngest daughter has been asking me for this recipe all week. So finally here it is.

Cake
1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Filling
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (16-ounce) box confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.
Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioners' sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well.
Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Don't be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don't bake it past that point!
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares

1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste, go easy on the salt cause of the bread crumbs and cheese

Sauce ingredients:

4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped small
1 can tomato paste
3 cans crushed tomatoes

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, egg and seasoning to taste. Mix well and form into 12 meatballs. Store, covered in refrigerator until needed.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil till translucent. Add in tomato products, beef broth, sugar and seasonings and bay leaves. Mix well. Transfer to crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. Add in meatballs and cook at least 2 more hours.
