In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the tomato sauce, cheese, and pasta.
Roll meat mixture into golf ball size meatballs, squish a cube of cheese into a meatball and form the edges over the cheese to make it into a meatball shape again.
Arrange all the meatballs in your slow cooker, pour in the tomato sauce. Cook on high setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Serve over pasta.
Figure about 100 Baht/500 grams of beef, and 60 Baht/500 grams of pork. For 6 servings, this is about 78 cents per serving.
