Menu Monday...on a Tuesday


Due to the class schedule that two of our children have this quarter, we need crockpot meals one day a week. So, today I thought I would share an easy, tasty crockpot recipe that takes very little time, effort, and ingredients.

Crockpot Meatball Subs
Ingredients:
enough ground beef to feed your family (we use 3 pounds because we have 2 teenage boys who consume a LOT of food!)
jar of spaghetti sauce (we use two jars because we use so much beef)
sub buns – homemade or store bought
cheese (optional)

Simply roll the ground beef into meatball. I make mine about bite-sized so they are easier to keep in the buns. Throw them into the crockpot and pour the spaghetti sauce over the top. The fat in the ground beef will prevent the meat from sticking but I do try to stir it up once about half way through the cooking time. I put them on after lunch and they are ready when dinner time rolls around.

We add a little shredded mozzarella cheese to the bottom of the bun and then fill them with meatballs and enjoy!
