Slow Cooker Crock Pot Meatball Subs Recipe

Yeah! It’s time for another slow cooker crock pot recipe! Today’s Slow Cooker Crock Pot Meatball Subs Recipe is so good! You could also add these to pasta if you really wanted to but I love having them as subs.

Easy Slow Cooker Crock Pot Meatball Subs sandwiches made with frozen meatballs! Great comfort food dinner for the entire family.

One thing I love about crock pot meals is they are ready when I get home from work. Many days I am wiped out from working in the park and want/need a hearty filling dinner to fill me up. As a Park Ranger, my days include talking with park guests, maintaining park safety, working with chainsaws, clearing snow and so much more.

Many days I am outside for the majority of the day which is amazing but can also wear a guy out. It is so nice coming home and opening the door to smelling dinner already cooked and ready to go!

Do you have a slow cooker crock pot meal you love to make? I would love to hear about it.
