Meatball Subs
. Recently a coworker was talking about making meatballs & I admited that I had never made meatballs. My mom always just added ground beef to tomato sauce and so I do the same. I’m not big on meatballs with my spaghetti but I do love the occasional meatball sub! So I did what any good foodie does & scoured the internet for recipes. A few made in a slow cooker intrigued me because the slow cooker is known for being very easy & also creating very juicy meats. Sounded like a plan to me! Next, I looked at what I had in my kitchen & made up my own recipe for slow cooker meatballs based on those I saw online. Served with a side salad this was a perfect comfort food dinner.
Slow Cooker Meatball Sub
Yield: Yields 15 large meatballs
Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tbsp italian seasoning
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 eggDirections:
1. Mix above ingredients together in medium sized bowl. Shape into large meatballs.
2. Pour 1/2 jar of spaghetti sauce & 1 32 oz can of crushed tomatoes into slow cooker.
3. Place meatballs into sauce, becareful not to have meatballs touch bottom of slow cooker. Pour the remainder of spaghetti sauce on top of meatballs so that all are covered.
4. Cook on low for 5 hours.
5. Serve on toasted rolls (toast open faced in oven 425 degrees for 5 minutes) and top with provolone cheese.{a Nashville Nosher original}

Oh yummy. I love the idea of mixing beef and turkey for meatballs. I'm going to have to try this.
