For the sauce, stir together tomato puree, peppers, onion, salt, red pepper and bay leaf.
Pour half of the sauce into a slow cooker and reserve the rest.
For the meatballs, add milk and soak the bread for a few minutes. Lightly squeeze the bread to remove excess milk and discard milk.
Spread flour on a piece of wax paper.
In a large bowl, mix together soaked bread, ground beef, parsley, garlic, egg, cumin, marjoram, salt and pepper (to taste).
Moisten your hands and shape mixture into 2 balls.
Lightly roll meatballs in flour and transfer to the slow cooker that contains half of the sauce. Top with remaining sauce.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until meatballs are cooked through.
Discard bay leaf before serving over rice with freshly grated Parmesan.
